SILENT 79 Solar Yacht The only footprints you leave behind are those in the sand




Solar power and luxury cruising collide in the remarkable Silent 79 Solar Yacht. Setting sail in 2020, this extraordinarily luxurious 79-foot vessel will have up to six bedrooms, ample deck space, and will boast 70 photovilaic panels designed to propel the ship.
                                                      $4,880,000.00
Why SILENT-YACHTS?  SILENT-YACHTS presents the first and only oceangoing production yachts in the world that are fully solar sustainable and powered by solar energy. Pure solar-powered luxury. Based upon our extraordinary accomplishments to date, it is clear that SILENT YACHTS represents the future of luxury yachting. 
Conventional motor-yachts are powered by diesel- or gas-engines. Additionally they have a Generator on board to supply all household appliances. Depending on the size of the yacht, two or three diesel-engines are working for propulsion and household. On sailing-yachts, depending on the operational area and the wind- and weather conditions, additionally to the sails a diesel-engine is needed for the propulsion of the boat. When anchored in a quiet bay, the noisy diesel-engine is operated to provide the energy needed on the boat.
Most yachts are using gas for cooking, the open flame heats up the interior of the yacht and cause an imminent threat. On many yachts the consumables like water and energy are managed in a way that enforces the skipper to visit a marina every two or three days to charge the batteries and to buy water for shower and drinking. Larger Yachts operate water-makers, air-conditioning and generators. They do not need to got to a marina, but the use of a combustion-engine is inevitably combined with noise, exhausts and vibrations as well as oily films in the water: Not the nicest experience in an otherwise quiet bay
A conventionally powered boat with diesel engine propulsion has a range of 300 to 500 nautical miles. With a sail the range can be extended, but only when the wind is coming from the right direction and in matching force.
SILENT-YACHTS offers you a completely new experience of nature and watersports, without noise or exhausts.
We have developed a modular and scalable system that reduces the operation-hours of diesel-engines and thus the fuel-consumption to close to zero. The SILENT System is simpler, needs less maintenance and costs less than any conventional fuel-depending propulsion and energy-supply. At the same time it grants more luxury, comfort, independence, reliability and safety.
Do you want to have a “propane-free” kitchen and more comfort while on anchor? Do you want to go for solar-electric propulsion? Are you the owner of a Megayacht who wants to sleep without the noise and the vibrations of permanently running generators:
We have the solution for you. A new class of yachting is on the rise.
SILENT-YACHTS was awarded with one of the Top Power Multihulls in the Industry for 2018.

Congratulations to Michael Koehler and team on their incredible achievement!








SOLAR REINVENTED

The power of the sun is at your command.
Everything started with a piece of white paper, a pencil and a spirit for innovation. Today, when you cross the oceans with a SILENT yacht, you are powered by pure and clean solar energy without giving up any of the exhilaration, comfort and luxury that you get from a conventional yacht.

THE FUTURE OF LUXURY YACHTING

We believe that every human being is different.
SILENT-YACHTS was founded on the dream of eliminating the major downfalls of yachting as well as the disastrous effects on your wallet and the environment without sacrificing the slightest bit of luxury. The future of luxury yachting is individualistic, noiseless, self-sufficient and honouring nature and environment.

FREEDOM

A true world cruiser with unlimited range.
On a SILENT Yacht water and energy production is done on board, large freezer capacity and large storage spaces facilitate independence, infinite range and self-sufficiency for weeks. This means no fuel-stops in crowded marinas but diving in solitary bays and enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine…

THE SOUND OF SILENT

Did you listen to the pure sound of water today?
Electric-motors, solar panels and batteries work without any noise. You only hear the SILENT yacht gliding through the water. Your SILENT yacht is as silent (!) as a canoe and by far quieter than a sailboat which needs a lot of wind to sail with six to eight knots.

EASE OUT AND RELAX

The only footprints you leave are those in the sand.
Imagine starting every morning with an inspiring sunrise, and ending daylight with a breathtaking sunset! Watch, smell, feel nature and be aware that you take responsibility for the environment. Ease out, relax and enjoy the most beautiful and interesting places to cruise on Earth.

Survivor+ Life Vest and Raft


Cobham’s Survivor+ personal overboard survival system is a new class of advanced PFD that incorporates both a SOLAS approved inflatable life jacket and raft into a single system worn as a vest for maximum readiness and survivability.




Drowning, hypothermia, and exposure to life threatening sea spray and frigid winds are always safety concerns for offshore workers. In the event of an overboard emergency, not every crewmember is able to reach a life raft in time. Cobham, recognizing this dangerous reality, developed a solution that makes a life raft instantly accessible to each individual. As a result, Cobham is excited to introduce its new Survivor+ personal overboard survival system, which does just that.

Designed for offshore operations




Ideally suited for crew on offshore operations, rigs, support vessels, and wind farm transfers, Survivor+ offers these distinguishing features:
  • Life jacket and tethered raft worn as a vest
    (Cobham's vacuum packed raft technology)
  • Activates automatically upon immersion
    (manual option)
  • Inflatable canopy with clear face shield and inflatable seat cushion for thermal protection
  • Bailout sleeve
  • Ballast bags for stabilization
  • Strobe light for easy night detection and optional PLB

LR certificate and statement of compliance




Recognized by Lloyd's Register as being in compliance with IMO A-520(13) for Personal Life-Saving Appliances, this major achievement allows Survivor+ to be recognized internationally by the commercial maritime and offshore oil and gas industries as a compliant personal safety system that is now ready for use.

Features


  • Survivor+ is a new class of "wear and forget" inflatable PFD for the commercial maritime industry that incorporates both a SOLAS approved inflatable life jacket and a personal life raft into a single system worn as a vest for maximum readiness and survivability.
  • Survivor+ automatically deploys a raft when the wearer becomes immersed in water.  The life vest and the tethered raft inflate, the individual boards the raft and a canopy is inflated and closed for thermal protection.



THIS ROTATING SKYSCRAPER IS COMING TO DUBAI



The city is planning to built it by 2020. The dynamic tower hotel was designed by David Fisher in 2008. Now it's finally coming to life. Each floor of the 80-story building will  rotate independently. Giving guests and residents a 360 o view. An Apartment here could cost you up to $40 million.

Manta5 was founded in early 2011 by Guy Howard-Willis and  oland  lonzo. Both passionate and committed cyclists. The distinct lack of options for a would-be water cyclist Guy had long played on his mind – until one day, he swapped wondering for action, met bike designer Roland. Together with a spirit of wonder, the Manta5 journey began.
Funded by the sale of Guy's recently sold company Torpedo7, the pair worked in secrecy from everyone apart from their wives for two years.  Just as a high-performance bicycle, Guy and Roland envisioned a concept that was lightweight, fast, agile, easy to transport, assemble and upgrade. On top of this, the rider would need to launch from a pontoon or from deep water, without settling for any existing bulky buoyancy or hulls.

Seven years later using the same hydrofoil technology that lifts America's Cup yachts out of the water the incumbent Manta5 Hydrofoil XE-1 Bike is making waves around the world. Winning numerous design awards and reaching viral status on social media (240 million and counting).  They have built Manta5 on the solid foundations where innovation, passion for cycling and watersports matches a relentless commitment to provide customers with first class service, and unprecedented riding experiences.
