MODX 70

This new catamaran is a model of responsible eco-boating: it has been built with 38% biosourced epoxy resin, 40% recycled PET foam, flax fiber and cork. Thanks to latest-generation technologies, MODX is expected to be self-sufficient - meaning there will be no generator on board. To achieve this feat without jeopardizing safety, the designers decided to launch a catamaran large enough to support a very powerful battery bank while increasing the potential area of the solar panels - it stretches to 750 square feet (70 m²). The two motors are capable of a 100-mile range. The fully automated rig is perhaps the most amazing feature as the two retractable carbon masts - one on each hull - each support a 1,345 sq ft (125 m²) inflatable wing.
