At 4 to 5 knots, it can cover 100 miles per day using no fuel, thanks to the solar panels. To exceed such a daily run, the generator takes over. Depending on the drivetrain chosen, top speeds of 20 knots are possible, though this is getting away from the brand's philosophy of silent navigation, low emissions and reduced consumption. The electric motors are guaranteed for life, the solar panels for 25 years and the batteries for 8 years - reliability that would allow not only some serious family cruising, but also a charter operation with low consumption and reduced maintenance costs.
