You’re in for a treat with the MODX 70! This new 100% renewable energy cruising catamaran is indeed equipped with the latest generation technologies allowing it to manage without fossil-based energy: there will be no generator on board. To achieve this feat without jeopardizing safety, the MODX 70 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. It is this rig - in miniature version - which was presented in La Grande-Motte during the International Multihulls Show. Hull #1 is already in build, using 38% biosourced epoxy resin, 40% recycled PET foam, flax fiber and cork. Launch is scheduled for the start of next summer. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Ocean Développement Architect: VPLP Length: 70’ (21.33 m) Beam: 32’10” (10 m) Air draft: 15’1”/75’6” (4.6/23 m) Displacement: 50,700 lbs (23 t) Upwind sail area: 2 x 1,345 sq ft (2 x 125 m²) Solar panels: 12 kWp Batteries: 230 kWh Drivetrain: 2 x 40 kW Water: 317 US gal (1,200 l) + recovery system ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

🇫🇷 Ambiance brumeuse pour Antoine Cornic, qui ne voit pas à plus de 50 mètres ! La mer est désordonnée, et le bateau tape beaucoup. Les conditions diffèrent de celles prévues, et laissent le skipper hésitant sur la route à suivre ! 🇬🇧 A foggy atmosphere for Antoine Cornic, who can't see more than 50 meters ahead! The sea is choppy, and the boat is slamming heavily. The conditions are not as forecasted, leaving the skipper uncertain about which course to take! ------------------------ ➡️ SUIVEZ-NOUS ! // FOLLOW US ! 🔗 Website : www.vendeeglobe.org 📸 Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/vendeeglobe/ 🐦 Twitter FR : https://twitter.com/VendeeGlobe | Twitter ENG : https://twitter.com/VendeeGlobeENG 🕺 TikTok : https://www.tiktok.com/@vendee_globe 💻 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/VendeeGlobe 💼 LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/company/vendée-globe/

Our first day out on the Alaskan Gypsy had us literally overboard with excitement. Ada's laugh says it all. These are the little moments that remind us what we’re working toward. 👉 Subscribe & follow our journey if you can handle the shipyard grind before we get back to the adventures, fun, and games like this out in Alaska’s wild coastline.
