This catamaran wants to say goodbye to CO2 emissions

On an Olympic medal-winning sailor, winner of the 1982 Route du Rhum and two-time America’s Cup semifinalist, puts his ideas and experience into the design of a boat, a catamaran in this case, the result should at least be observed with curiosity. Not least because the sailor in question, Frenchman Marc Pajot, is certainly no stranger to the craft and has been working on making catamarans, especially sporting ones, since the 1980s and now with Pajot Custom Yachts.

Resulting from the collaboration of a team of specialists, the Pajot Custom Yachts 110′ catamaran is a combination of new and coordinated concepts. Innovations combined with proven solutions enable this multihull platform to achieve all the functions and features of a superyacht.

At the heart of the project is a diesel-electric hybrid motor propulsion, with ample energy supply given by hydrodynamic generators and a large area of 70 m² of solar panels, which is also possible due to the boat’s 110-foot length. The stated goal on the part of Pajot Custom Yachts is to make a boat that at least in coastal sailing is carbon neutral, thanks in part to an electric energy storage system for overnight autonomy at anchor.

The cat otherwise has all the characteristics of a luxury sports yacht: pulled and flared lines at the bow, contained freeboard on the water, a sail plan with great vertical development, and a simple and functional organization of the exterior areas. The flybridge is in effect a terrace on the sea, double cockpit forward, swimming pool aft and forward, and an additional living area on the last rear level before going into the water.
