Eco-Friendly Ocean Motor Yacht Design

Designers Ken Freivokh, responsible for the Maltese Falcon; and Pat Bray, responsible for a fuel efficient, semi-displacement hull form, presented their latest project, an environmentally sound 137-ft motor yacht design. Through the use of hybrid diesel/electric technology this vessel can operate for up to five hours on battery power alone, quietly slipping through the water at six knots. A 4,000 mile range at 14 knots is achieved with this low wake, low carbon footprint hull form.
