    Because straight electric with solar charging is stupid! Diesel electric hybrid with solar backup is where its at! Just because someone's rich doesn't mean they can afford to sit around 8 hours and wait for their boat to charge up (or up to 16 hours if they ran out right before sundown). Greenline has the right idea!

      Redundancy is key for sure when far away from shore. I remember talk about a kite system for one of their models? With sail catamarans at least, being able to use the props as dynamos to regen is a hugely powerful combo that blows any solar out of the water. So taking advantage of the wind when present, in addition to a hybrid generator would be even better.

    I do not like to see any innovative company have issues but I must be honest here. Every sailor has unexpectedly found themselves in heavy storm seas and at night where a battery alone will not last and you must maintain propulsion. Ocean storms come up fast and sometimes unpredictably on the ocean and you must maintain headway in a proper direction in heavy seas or they will eat a boat up. Sometimes you find yourself in a situation where you cannot out run them or swing around them. Any lack of power to the electric motors is a death nell in that situation. I cannot see an electric only boat filling that requirement in today's current systems state. Electric propulsion must be combined with other forms such that it compliments for the maintenance of propulsion through a night's heavy seas. Even a small diesel on a sail boat with a sliver of a furling out can keep its bow into the rollers even making negative headway and keep from being capsized. I can see this combines with either sail or diesel tech such that one becomes a backup and compliments the other. I'm sorry, but I would not be on an all electric boat in blue water. Of course, I could be misunderstanding something about these ships.

      Honestly, you could probably buy a tiny catamaran and have it converted to solar electric for $500k. But the reason they're going out of business is that people are starting to realize that solar panel AND battery technology aren't far enough along yet to make them a viable standalone option. Even most people rich enough to afford millions for a solar yacht can't afford to wait around for it to charge ...IF the sun is even out to charge it. The panels have to be cleaned constantly, they lose efficiency with each year, and no one wants to be stranded at sea waiting for the sun.

    Translated: Although too little internal information is openly available, I assume that there has been a clear breach of contract. Whether the Turkish/Dutch partner was just playing too much poker with contract back payments and was caught up in the technical accounting laws or was deliberately trying to damage a competitor that was growing too quickly can only be seen after a judicial investigation. It is bitter for Michael Kohler to hand over his life's work to someone else. Conclusion? Explosive success attracts false friends. The "good advice" written here and in other forums does not see all the visible facts or has too little experience of an entrepreneurial life. In the euphoria of overwhelming success, malicious influences are often not recognized. People are often caught up in their work-filled world. Perhaps that was also the case here.

    Hello - I´m Michael Köhler, CEO and founder of Silent Yachts. Thank you "Yacht Section" for the great ,unbiased and fair video and thanks to the community for the positive comments below! Let me be very clear. VisionF stopped the production - they issued a press release stating, that Silent Yachts owes them money. This is not the case. VisionF issued some invoices that were objected by us, partly because of quality reasons but mainly as the invoiced milestones have clearly not been accomplished. This has been confirmed by an independent team of surveyors, that clearly showed evidence on way more than 100 pages, that Silent Yachts doesn´t owe any money to VisionF, but that VisionF is late in the production way more than one year. Until end of 2023 VisionF should have delivered 21 yachts up to 120 feet to Silent Yachts. They delivered not even one. The boats that were produced in Turkey are now shrink-wrapped, all production had been stopped in November 2023. VisionF owes Silent Yachts millions on dowmpayments that we made for yachts, that have never been started. To sue VisionF would cost millions and would take years. Silent Yachts paid all its invoices, never had bank loans, we went bankrupt with a full orderbook and a well running production facility in Italy, because the 21 yachts that we ordered in Turkey were not delivered. Our clients are our only creditors, we owe them the delivery of their yachts. This is why we went bankrupt. We are now producing all Silent 62 in Italy - also those that were started in Turkey will be started again in Italy and delivered to our clients. We are planning to do the same with the Silent 80 and Silent 120. We are working hard to make our clients happy. They are our biggest asset. We do not want to look back, we llook forward into the future and the future will show, who told the truth, and who will continue to deliver boats. Thank you again for your kind comments!

      1. With Sunreef, I doubt that the solar panels laminated into the hull will ever balance out the additional costs in the lifetime of the catamaran. Sunreef is a luxury symbol. Admittedly impressive when you step aboard, but few people can afford 5-star luxury. Silent is less than half the price. Still a long way from the normal price level, but the inovation accessible to more people for a charter. 2. if you do the math, you get results. a) Purchase price in relation to the possible solar area, as well as the question of the stated engine power? Can the solar harvest store enough energy for these motors? b) Additional weights at the top of the ship and the increase in torque characteristics in moving water until capsizing. c) Ratio of ship weight for monohulls (often steel) or multihulls and thus even heavier engines, thus worsening the balance between possible solar harvesting in batteries, further increase in ship weight. Solar harvesting is 60-90% lower in sidewalls. So more of a marketing gain. Water resistance to be overcome at 6, 12, 18, 24 knots? ... Underwater hulls for monohulls and multihulls are different worlds,... much more. If you don't know the different influencing factors, you can't calculate them. And a little tip. Even a thin tensioned line leads to 60% solar yield loss. Every antenna or radome and and and.... Measuring a ship for a solar harvest from a bird's eye view???. ...is just as precise as the gardener's statement that exactly this one seed grows the fastest when he reseeds the soccer pitch. But to work with and find out new ways is allways positiv. Greetings to all
