I love this feature for two reasons; first, it is a great example of how responsive Vision is to customer feedback that can make the boat better, and second, because I had at least a little input in its creation! In a nutshell, they help prevent the running rigging from getting snagged on the rigid solar panel corners. Flexible panels wouldn't have this problem to begin with, but they are nowhere near as efficient, they get hot and they don't last as long. We were very happy to be getting rigid solar panels, but were less than thrilled about having to be super vigilant to prevent a damaged sheet or panel. I believe these clips will fully remove this concern; thanks Grant (Vision Engineer)! Want more?

We managed to capture the perfect sunset at Green Island Resort on Feb 10th. Does it get any better than this?!

It’s an honor to proudly unveil the hull of the first Navier 27’. This all-carbon, all-electric hydrofoiling vessel will have a range of 75 nautical miles, will fly comfortably above waves up to 4’ and introduces intelligent autonomy that goes far beyond autopilot. The Navier 27 will be on display at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show this October.
