Spirit 44CRe © Spirit Yachts Length overall: 13.40 m or 44 ft 0 in Beam: 3.30 m or 10 ft 10 in Draft: 2.30 m or 7 ft 7 in Displacement: 6,000 kg or 13,227 lb Engine: Oceanvolt ServoProp15 electric sail drive Battery capacity: 30.4 kWh Cabins: 2 Berths: 4 persons The Spirit 44CRe represents a revolutionary milestone in sustainable naval architecture, debuting as a fully electric wooden sailing yacht built for near total energy self-sufficiency. Constructed by Spirit Yachts using timeless mahogany ringframes, exposed yellow cedar planking, and an advanced lightweight composite hull, this 44-foot sloop-rigged cruiser racer features zero hydrocarbons onboard. To achieve true fossil-fuel-free operation, the vessel utilizes a lightweight Oceanvolt propulsion system that actively regenerates its lithium-ion battery bank via hydro-generation through a controllable-pitch propeller while under sail. The exterior layout is optimized for high-performance eco-cruising, introducing thin-cell solar panels masterfully integrated directly into the sustainable timber decking and the high-tech OneSails mainsail. Below deck, the space-saving electric motor arrangement allows for an uncommonly spacious layout, featuring white bulkheads and rich American walnut joinery that accommodate four guests in supreme comfort. Equipped with high-efficiency LED systems, a reversible heating pump, and an alcohol-fueled stove, this custom maritime masterpiece combines classic British elegance with future-proof sustainability, commanding a value of 2 million US dollars. #Spirit44CRe #ElectricYacht #ClassicSailing #HarbourMasters
Sailing a beautiful high-altitude (8,601 ft elevation) Colorado mountain lake in my 2010 Precision 18 trailer sailer, s/v "Mandatory Fun." Winds were pretty heavy, so I double-reefed the mainsail. Filmed with the Insta360 X3 mounted on the bow pulpit with the 3 meter selfie stick.
