Really enjoy seeing all these technical behind the scenes videos from Jim. Looking forward to hearing more about the hybrid drive system and seeing the 85 afloat and underway. Keep them coming!

[@arksenprojects]

Thank you! We will be sharing more soon.

This has to be my dream yacht

[@aroondutt3684]

Great video. Looking forward to a more detail description of the Hybrid System. Particularly interested in range as well as how much fuel woudl the generator consume and how all of that compares to the diesel engine system. Love the videos, love the yacht, keep it coming.

[@arksenprojects]

Thank you, we will be sharing more on the hybrid system in the coming months.

cant wait to see the engine room on this one! Is it a DC coupled hybrid?

[@arksenprojects]

The vessel has a series hybrid propulsion system, with a high voltage DC bus at its core.

[@59patrickw]

two questions Jim as not that well up on this sort of yacht
1 so the stern thruster is only for the hybrid
2 what about through the hull sonar as you got a thick ally hull

[@arksenprojects]

Thank you for the questions.
1. Stern thruster can be fitted to any Arksen 85, not just the hybrid.
2. Through hull sonar - It’s a good question - currently we use conventional in-water transducers. There are in-hull transducers available, designed for aluminium hulls, however these are intended for thinner plating, so they are unlikely to be suitable for our boats. (We fit all transducers in water-tight cofferdams, for safety).

@@arksenprojects thanks

[@lightning9279]

Thanks for showing her. Was a hull vane an option at anypoint?

[@arksenprojects]

Yes a hull vane was a consideration, however after an extensive review of various options, it was decided that interceptors were the more appropriate option for our design.
