Silent 55: Is this the world's most cost-efficient mobile home?
For those seeking a luxurious, spacious, self-sufficient home; forever changing scenery and negligible operating costs, look no further than the Silent 55. Silent Yachts had a debut of the vastly improved version of the Silent 55, a solar-powered, 55-ft ocean-going catamaran, at the 2019 Cannes Yachting Festival. With double the power of the previous model, the Silent 55 will touch 20 knots (23 mph, 23 km/h), cruise all night with no emissions and commensurate running costs, and has a draft of just 3.9 ft (1.2 m), meaning it can access just about any waterway in the world.

It's hard to believe this boat runs with 100% solar power. Very nice design!

@dankyden 4 жыл бұрын

thats because on the best of conditions you only get about 50nm per day via solar. after that its running the gen set or waiting around to charge up

@ThePatriot2 4 жыл бұрын

reed hoffman read that it can run continuously on solar at 8-10 knots , but at the max speed of 18-20 knots, you can go for a few hours

Wondering if front panels can be partly two layers where top layer can be extended forward above the trampolines when these are not in use for sunbading, to have extra production of energy.

I just wondered if this boat relies a great deal on full sun. Is it suitable for long journeys if you get prolonged cloudy conditions.

@williamgrimberg2510 2 жыл бұрын

Great boat, the only drawback is the frontal glass area. Seems like it’s almost completely flat to any oncoming air which may add some drag to the aerodynamics of the vessel when it’s underway . Also, the existing design kind of gives a tugboat appearance to that area . Could maybe experiment with the idea of adding a semi in closed long gated wind generation above and running the length of a slanted frontal glass area .

Ive seen 2 MILLION, 1.5 MILLION AND 1.37 MILLION for this boat. What is the real price???

@ThePatriot2 4 жыл бұрын

You probably see it in different prices because in some websites, they use the Euro while in others they use the dollar, the 55 if I am correct is 1.6 million euros, so that translates to around 1.8 million dollars I think

Not sure but at 5knots its endless! That's mighty impressive! I'm guessing but I think at top speed it's around 6 to 800knm! It's all on there website silent yachts! There is 3 different size motors you can have! Each have higher top speed from smallest to biggest!

Yea...that’s been done for thousands for years with sailboats. Sun unevenly heats the earth which causes wind which pushes sails. It’s good to replace the motor’s fuel for solar sure, but why no sails?

@@asdfghjklqwertyuiopzxcvbnm2281 I think it's the cost and weight of having sails and rigging. A kite sail is an emergency measure, not a serious solution.

@paulcalvinpacana8185 4 жыл бұрын

The first reply was right. I am a solar power installer, even a small shadow cast by the mast or sails would severely lower the solar power production.

@___Chris___ 3 жыл бұрын

1. no sails, no rigging, no diesel engine = 90% less maintenance and associated costs (solar panels, charge controllers, lithium batteries and brushless electric engines are almost maintenance-free; some electric engines, e.g. the Torqueedo cruise outboard engines, are even more failsafe because they don't even need an active cooling system) 2. the charme of chasing the sunny patches and calm seas instead of going with the weather fronts (because that's where the wind is) 3. being completely "reefed" at all times, i.e. no wind and gusts acting on any sails (=high center of effort) --> much smoother ride

My research showed that this yacht has a range of 100 nautical miles before you have to stop and let the batteries completely recharge. Did not say how long that would take but crossing the Atlantic 100 nautical miles at a time and drifting around between charges does not seem practical much less qualifying it as an ocean going yacht.

@paulcalvinpacana8185 4 жыл бұрын

Its a matter of understanding HOW its meant to be operated and NOT to be compared with a Sail or Motor Boat. To cross oceans, speed up to 10 or 15 knots during the day IF Sun is shining, this will keep batt charged for a slow 5 knots cruising speed at night or just enough speed even so as not to drift. Then repeat procedure during the next sunrise, in so doing, you will have crossed oceans with NO FUEL SPENT. On occassion where you may have bad weather or need to speed up all the time to get away from a storm, use maximum speed or even just 15 knots, then run DC Generator when batt fully discharges. That is how to operate this yacht. Although after this I have design a yatch based off this that can have sails without disturbing the solar power production. Email me if interested.
