Ocean Xplorer Wind-Powered Multi-Purpose Global Expedition Yacht Optimized Hull with Next Gen Low-emission to No-emission Integrated Hybrid Systems. Over 3,000 HP of equivalent engine power generated by a single standard 363 m² Oceanwing sail (33m high x 11m wide) Vastly Lower CO₂ emissions, and lower operating/engine costs Wingsail’s geometry (11m wide) offers a natural roll damping effect Fully electrical and low-maintenance, with an expected lifespan of 25 years Only 2.5 Sq M footprint for each sail Reduced Noise & Vibration - above and below waterline Generates positive thrust starting at 5° apparent wind angle OceanWings Software & Data Platform optimizes performance * Can be operated safely without the need for additional crew Wind is freely available across all oceans and in unlimited quantities. It was primary propulsion source for ships for over 2500 years, and is likely to be again. Wind drives the decarbonation of Vessels and new technologies allow a new generation of Yacht Owners to harness the power of wind. By adopting wind power, Owners can not only lower their CO₂ emissions, but also reduce operating costs with less fuel, less engine hours and longer periods between machinery overhauls. Owners will meet increasingly strict regulations in environmentally sensitive areas, and alter both the perception and reality of yachting. See more at WindVoyage.com
