Super Green Super Yacht - Sustainable Luxury Yachting...Hmmm

This eco-vessel will harness the power of the sun and the wind thanks to a collaboration with the state-of-the-art technology firm, Solar Sailor Ltd. of Australia. Solar Sailor's proven technology, (which is currently used in commercial vessels) provides this stunning yacht the ability to be emission-free, running up to 8 knots on solar energy alone. This has numerous advantages, not least providing significantly reduced running costs.

Alastair Callender is an award-winning design graduate, who has taken the Superyacht world by storm with his aesthetically beautiful "Super-Green Superyacht" design, called Soliloquy. This man's passion for yacht design and for a sustainable planet has resulted in a new futuristic and innovative design for a superyacht.

      

Soliloquy's Designer of the progressive UK firm Callender Designs,  has announced that he has been invited to display his model and designs of Soliloquy, throughout the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show this week.
