Today we are looking at one of the most ambitious yacht projects currently under construction: PROJECT ZERO, a 69 metre sailing superyacht being built with no diesel engines, no generators, no fuel tanks and no fossil fuel on board.

At first glance, that sounds almost impossible. After all, large yachts require enormous amounts of energy, not only for propulsion but also for air conditioning, refrigeration, lighting, hot water and all the other systems needed to create a luxury environment at sea.

So how can a yacht of this size operate without conventional power?

In this video, David explores the technology and thinking behind PROJECT ZERO, including her use of wind power, solar energy, hydrogeneration and advanced energy storage systems. More importantly, he looks at the wider question the project is asking: not simply how yachts generate energy, but how much energy they really need in the first place.

Designed by Vripack with Dykstra Naval Architects and currently under construction at Vitters Shipyard in the Netherlands, PROJECT ZERO is much more than a new yacht. It is an attempt to rethink the way energy is produced, stored and consumed on board.

Whether PROJECT ZERO represents the future of superyacht design or remains a fascinating one-off experiment is open to debate. But there is little doubt that the ideas behind her will spark discussion throughout the industry.

If you are interested in yacht design, sustainability, engineering innovation or the future of superyachts, this is a project well worth exploring.
