Super Nova 60

Design overview

 

The latest offering in the upcoming trend of eco-friendly yachts is the Supernova by Sauter Zero. The super and megayacht makers are increasingly trying to reduce carbon footprints without compromising on the luxury features.

The latest hybrid yachts are top notch when it comes to knotting speed and the luxury facilities offered. The 60-m Solar Hybrid Megayacht is being billed as the first ultra green megayacht. This novel yacht consists of wing sails that are half in size of the other monohulls, to help achieve greater thrust and lesser drag. It boasts of sophisticated hydro and aerodynamic design that utilizes sun, wind and wave energy to make her the fastest power sailing superyacht in the world with a speed of 17kts.

 

By using multiple diesel electric drives supported by fully rotational wing sails, power sailing wave motion regeneration, a huge solar cell array and UPS backup, it achieves an astonishing 75 to 100 percent reduction in CHG emissions.

Richard Sauter, the founder of Sauter Zero Carbon Design, believes that their one of a kind carbon neutral approach will bring about a revolution in the reduction of carbon footprints in the yachting industry as a whole.

 

Super Nova, the Carbon Neutral Superyacht. A Plug- in Solar Hybrid design that is capable of feeding 400Mwh’s of electricity to the grid. Enough energy to offset 7.000 nautical miles of power sailing voyages every year. 

Super Nova and Formula Zero, are the only Superyachts to harness renewable sources of energy from Wingsails, MDR, Solar Cells, and Power sailing KER, which combined with Plug-in power sources charge a Lithium ion storage system that runs all Hotel services including AC. The same Lithium UPS allows Super Nova to navigate harbors and inland waterways with Zero emissions

The currently available green technology present in Super Nova includes :

  • Mercedes Benz Daimler BlueTec diesel electric power generation
  • State of the art adjustable camber fully rotational Wingsails.
  • Optimum solar cell deployment.650sq.m (100kw)
  • Power sailing (KER) (Kinetic energy regeneration)
  • Motion Damping Regeneration (MDR)
  • Azimuth counter rotating CLT high torque propeller systems.
  • Advanced wave piercing Catamaran Hi-speed displacement hulls
  • Advanced aerodynamic PV deck spoilers and radar tower canopy
  • Energy efficient equipment, AC with waste heat recovery
  • Computerized energy management, maintenance & guidance.
  • Plug-in Lithium UPS rated at 1,000Kwh. 

    Super Nova’s Carbon Neutral presence is further complimented by her Catamaran hi-speed wave piercing hulls featuring self leveling sea keeping hydro & aerodynamic advances that will easily make her the fastest power sailing megayacht in the world.
