Designed by Tomas Costa Lima, she features a distinctive silhouette, with sharply reverse-raked bows and a deck line that gradually rises toward the bow. Another distinctive feature is the enormous flybridge, designed as a full upper deck and topped by an XXL T-top capable of accommodating up to 10 kWp of solar panels.
The layout favors open spaces and easy movement around the boat. As for propulsion, the range-extended electric configuration features twin 100 kW motors, a 180 kWh LiFePO4 battery bank and two 20 kW diesel gensets. The builder also offers a parallel hybrid version combining twin 230 hp Yanmar engines with electric assistance. This should make extended cruising possible while reducing reliance on fossil fuels and maintaining a reassuring cruising range.
