Why choose a hybrid system:
Using a hybrid system on a sailing catamaran offers several advantages, enhancing the overall sailing experience while promoting sustainability. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Fuel Efficiency: Switching between power sources reduces fuel consumption and extends the vessel’s range.
- Environmental Impact: The reduced fuel usage leads to lower carbon emissions, thereby decreasing the environmental footprint.
- Built in Redundancy: Having both diesel and electric propulsion options provides greater reliability, versatility and redundancy.
- Lower Maintenance Costs: Electric motors generally have fewer moving parts compared to traditional engines, which can reduce maintenance requirements and costs over time. The hybrid system can also extend the life of the diesel engine by using it less frequently.
- Enhanced Sailing Experience: With the electric mode, sailors can enjoy the tranquility of the sea without the noise of running engines. This feature enhances the overall sailing experience, making it more enjoyable and serene. During sea-trials the Majestic 530 Hybrid maintained speeds of 6 knots using electric drive only.
- Energy Regeneration: Regenerating energy while sailing, using the movement of the propeller driven by the water to charge the batteries.
