How the Silent 60 works - Understanding Solar Yachts (Part 1) 

WOW - THE BEST EVER in-depth look at the Silent Yachts! 11/10! Thank you!

FINALLY, the Guts and Bones of the Electric boat. I was getting sick and tired of the "cute" stuff, and "storage, storage, storage..." of other presentations.

Wow - i would have never thought that silent yachts would show you all this in such detail. Nice Video !

Great video man. Really looking forward to the next one.

Geat to see such an extensive in-depth review of the silent yacht. I look forward to the next video

I love your content and this walkthrough is really informative and inspiring! thank you!

next video can't come soon enough. best in depth look ive seen so far!

Hurrah! My Type of Video! Excellent, Quick Snapshot of the Engineering of an Silent Yacht!👍

Hey :) Cool tour! I read a lot and watched a lot of movies about these yachts, but such a technical vlog is great. Detail of the kite system and its practicality is interesting also :) cheers and have a nice holiday!

Fantastic video, looking forward to part 2 and three

Great walk through!

Can't wait for Part 2

Finally an intelligent scientist and not a sales person show the real break down of it's design. Thank GOD! Build quality is not looking good but your trying to buy an energy free Yacht. Although it's not the best, it's a break through attempt to drive solar powered living. I'm respectfully all for burning as little diesel fuel as possible. Fuel Cell yachts in 2055 and Ships including all Cargo ships will be fuel cell ships. They produce power and heat make hot water or steam. And the hydrogen will all be from solar and winds and the planet grabs sunlight for all it's energy needs from mostly sunlight. Park your car in the sun and drive home from work for free. Charging stations? What charging stations? Dude they're all gone. Remember all tech that is dead! Hang out as long as you can and see it. S.Y. reminds me of the first Tesla roadster. Where did Tesla go as so does follow quietly the Silent Yachts Silence of success.

Very interesting. Also, there is a abundant amount of mppt’s installed for which reason im curious. But it seems unnecessary. Im looking forward to part II!

It seems like an interesting solution with a lot of reliability and self-sufficiency. Asking a large boat to travel 25 knots, like some other GRP boats, seems like overkill. Having no need of fuel anywhere in the world is a big advantage. Redundancy seems like it could be a real problem; from redundant dingies and motors to generators, hydraulics, and air conditioning.

I am waiting as patiently as an impatient American can for the next video about the Silent Yacht

Ok it's been nine months now. Where are the rest of the videos on the silent yacht?

really want to see the kite sail in the next vid.

Where is number two

Love your videos. Question: can you estimate the cost of converting a power catamaran to solar electric to a similar spec of this silent yacht. SY is out of budget for most people. I would love to have a conversation with you sometime.

Hi there, when will be part nr 2?? 😊

how fast does it go on solar alone? there is only 25 hp max power? a 25 hp motor would push this thing at maybe 2 knots?

Impressive boat, but I’ll be even more impressed when you finish yours! I work on a coastal express boat in Norway with 6,1MWh battery making it possible to go all electric for 4 hours! In a 124meter ship!! 😃 if you like to come along for a ride I’ll hook you up! The ship is “Havila Capella”

Do you know what the Brusa BSC614 units are being used for? I know they are DC to DC converters but what specifically is their use within the Silent Yachts?

really excited to understand how this yacht can go blue water. does it have sails of some sort? there is no mast? does it use propellers?

So 2 leaf motors or Renault Zoe's or whatever is easiest to find I would couple that not with tesla batteries but lifepo4 either blades or cells They are lower power density, but much much cheaper, and they will not start a fire that you cannot contain, they just swell up and die. You have the hull for it. But by the time you are done with the fiber glass we will have some newer stuff. I would also balance this with super caps for the crazy motor draws, it's easier on the battery cells. Graphene supercaps are on the way and something else is already on the horizon

When does part 2 come out?? Donate for a Dream

do they offer an wind generator as an option?

The flybridge roof does not lower to fit through smaller bridges. It is to take shade off the panels. It's optional.

when they change to lithium iron - I will take a closer look

I would design this yacht with second prop shaft on each side that would be connected to generators, so in motion your constantly producing power to charge batterie’s for longer trips and maybe faster constant speeds . Would be grate for area’s where there is cloud cover . Diesel generator would be backup power along with solar for long anchorage’s

What is propulsion motor OEM?

I’m looking forward to seeing the full deep dive on this!! It looks like they were charged over 90% as a Tesla owner (non-LFP) over 90% leads to battery degradation. Are they thinking of switching or having improved battery management systems, or aren’t they having issues?

Am very impressed by the idea of silent yachts and like where they are going, but when I saw this new 60, and how it's built it does not look good enough for the price tag, flimsy and cheap materials and the areas/volume distribution themselves does not look that though throug at all. I still hope the best for this brand and especially that they improve, this was the boat I dreamt of for long time but now I could not see myself spend that much money (if I had it) on that quality (or lack thereof). Imagine you can buy a steel Bering with high capability and safety, stability, durability, redundancy and a high quality interior for a similar price. Sure it is not solar electric but still comes with a hybrid system with large battery banks and solar arrays. Just can't justify the price for this, even if amazing, boat. Am I missing something ? 😅

very weird choice to go for Lithium ion batteries instead of the much safer and longer lasting lithium iron phosphate. Also didnt know they have separate low voltage batteries and a high voltage battery. the newer versions of this boat seem to be running on a 48V battery system and do no seem to have a separate high voltage battery. If you check the videos from thesuperyachtcaptain you can see how this has changed to a much better system without so many conversions going on.

Look in the the DIY cat link for Na ion battery tech And now theres a new arrival coming Sulpher ion dry cells. Both of which offer major advantages over Li battery chemistry's . Not least of which is cost Wt and safety.

Quite strange that they go down to 24v and back up to 400.

looks like a giant pulse oximeter

Index for watching this video through dozens of times... 3:24 = Stats on forward array 4:14 = Stats on coach roof (kinda) array 4:37 = Stats on stern array 4:47 = Total Solar 5:40 = Stats on Inverter + MPPT Charge Controllers 7:39 = Stats on Battery 8:02 = Stats-ish on DC-DC converters NautiStyles claims: "3 kw on each engine - 4,4 knots 7 kw - 5,5 knots 9 kw - 6,4 knots 13 kw - 7,0 knots 20 kw - 7,7 knots 30 kw - 9,1 knots 42 kw - 9,8 knots" Prior to testing and install, I would like for you guess what you will get when you are done. My fictional electric/solar boat would be able to go 4 knots for 24 hours as a base load with solar excess during the sunlight hours pushing closer to hull speed without consuming battery.

Say you didn’t put a life jacket on the baby are you joking me ,do not do man you do not know what can accrue

2 million euro's !?!?! Bullshitttt!!! I'm a 34 year outboard technician, and I don't see why this house boat should cost more than 700 to 900k euros! Some people are easily snookered! LOLOLOL!!!!
