Eco Factor: Low-emission yacht harnesses solar energy for power.
The IKKAR by designer Julien Anglade, a student at Strate College, is a low-emission futuristic yacht concept that has been designed to bridge the gap between man and sea. The innovative concept yacht features a simple yet elegant design that can change its shape according to the location for the comfort of the passengers.
The concept yacht can accommodate 50 passengers and has space for 60 crew members. When the vessel is at low speeds, it drops the sides of its hull flat into the water to allow the passengers to float with the waves. All the suites include a personal rotating terrace, while a closed dock ensures privacy.
The 150m-long IKKAR includes a streamlined hull for better fuel efficiency, and its main sail is equipped with rigid photovoltaic panels that help generate energy to power the boat. Moreover, the sail also helps sail the boat in positive wind conditions.
