If there is one place where wind energy has been used constantly and since long, then it has to be on all those vessels on high seas. Of course, with modern propulsion systems available, no one really is going to build a big boat with giant sails. But you can still have wind turbines on a modern yacht that add a bit of power to its engine and that is exactly what the Zero 80 does. Powered by its silent electric motors and an engine room that is sufficiently insulated to give you peace and quiet, the green Yacht uses both solar and wind energy as supplement power sources to cruise ahead.
The luxury yacht is designed by a group of Italian architects and it integrates an eco-friendly design along with lavish comforts to give you the very best of both the worlds. Zero 80 is 24 meters long and can hit a maximum speed of 13 knots. It can accommodate 6 to 8 guests and offers you an amazing and relaxing cruise as you leave back all your worries on the shore. There is nothing like some time out on the waves to ease your nerves and with its exclusively private areas and wonderful deck, you will not have much to complain about.
The best part of Zero 80 is its ability to integrate photovoltaic panels on its surfaces, which ensures that you can tap into solar power while away from shore. The design of the boat is crafted to intentionally sport many flat surfaces as integrating solar panels in future would be an easy task. Sleek, efficient and sporting green technologies, Zero 80 amalgamate comfort with eco consciousness.
