		<description><![CDATA[The 63m green power yacht Diana Navitas, created by Diana Yacht Design is an environmentally friendly vessel where guests will be aware of their energy consumption in a relaxed manner, not missing all the facilities one may expect from a luxury modern super yacht, such as multiple large sundecks, a beach club including pool, extendable swimming platforms and a large luxury owner’s suite with private sundeck, Jacuzzi and 180° view over sea.  ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The 63m motor yacht Diana Navitas, also known as Diana 439 and designed by well-known studio <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=yacht-results&amp;builder=diana+yacht+design-209" target="_self">Diana Yacht Design</a>, was born out of the challenge to develop and design an environmentally friendly vessel where guests will be aware of their energy consumption in a relaxed manner. The crucial factor to reduce the energy consumption of the Diana Navitas superyacht is the user awareness.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong></p>
<div id="attachment_55310" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-55310" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/63m-ecofriendly-super-yacht-diana-navitas-diana-yacht-design/63m-eco-friendly-super-yacht-diana-navitas"><img class="size-medium wp-image-55310" title="63m eco-friendly super yacht Diana Navitas" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/63m-eco-friendly-super-yacht-Diana-Navitas-665x398.jpg" alt="63m eco-friendly super yacht Diana Navitas" width="665" height="398" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The 63m eco-friendly super yacht Diana Navitas by Diana Yacht Design</p></div>
<p></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>The integration of a sustainable energy management system will only realize its full benefits if the user has the knowledge to use the system in the right way. On the Diana Yacht Design´s innovative touch screens integrated in every suite and major accommodations, guests and owners can monitor the entire energy system of the yacht. Through these touch screens the users have direct control of their energy consumption. The impact of their behavior is clearly shown on the display which creates awareness and stimulates well considered energy consumption on board.</p>
<div id="attachment_55312" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-55312" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/63m-ecofriendly-super-yacht-diana-navitas-diana-yacht-design/the-diana-439-superyacht-decks"><img class="size-medium wp-image-55312" title="The Diana 439 Superyacht Decks" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/The-Diana-439-Superyacht-Decks-665x398.jpg" alt="The Diana 439 Superyacht Decks" width="665" height="398" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Diana 439 Superyacht Decks</p></div>
<p>Everything is done to make the luxury yacht Diana Navitas as efficient as possible without compromising to the luxury on board. A lightweight aluminum hull and structure together with a smart slim hull saves a lot of fuel and weight. No energy is wasted in this yacht. The cooling water from the generators and water heated by the solar panel is used to cool the Diana 439 yacht with what is called absorption cooling, an energy saving air-conditioning.</p>
<p>This, in combination with good insulation, energy saving LED lightning and a smart energy management system ensures low carbon dioxide emissions and maximum profit from solar radiation captured by the pv-cells. Energy coming from the solar panels and the generators which is not used to propel the super yacht Diana Navitas is directly stored in the battery package.</p>
<div id="attachment_55313" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-55313" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/63m-ecofriendly-super-yacht-diana-navitas-diana-yacht-design/diana-navitas-superyacht%c2%b4s-sustainable-energy-management-system"><img class="size-medium wp-image-55313" title="Diana Navitas Superyacht´s sustainable energy management system" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Diana-Navitas-Superyacht´s-sustainable-energy-management-system-665x470.jpg" alt="Diana Navitas Superyacht´s sustainable energy management system" width="665" height="470" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Diana Navitas Superyacht´s sustainable energy management system</p></div>
<p>The Diana 439 yacht has all the facilities one may expect from a luxury modern super yacht, such as multiple large sundecks, a beach club including pool, extendable swimming platforms and a large luxury owner’s suite with private sundeck, Jacuzzi and 180° view over sea. This in combination with green hybrid technology makes the Diana Navitas one of the most sustainable and comfortable yachts in her class.</p>

<p><strong>ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD WINNER</strong></p>
<p><strong>AZIMUT MAGELLANO 50 – AZIMUT YACHTS &#8211; Azimut-Benetti Group</strong></p>
<p>The Magellano 50 yacht is a vessel that can cruise continuously, everywhere, and with the greatest respect for the environment, thanks to its Class CE A (NMMA Certification) and Rina Green Plus Class notation. For many years now,<br />
Azimut Yachts has considered the quest for optimum eco-compatibility as one of its top priorities.</p>
<div id="attachment_55147" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 533px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-55147" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/2011-environmental-award-winner-azimut-motor-yacht-magellano-50-special-mentions/magellano-50-yacht-2"><img class="size-full wp-image-55147" title="Magellano 50 Yacht" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Magellano-50-Yacht1.jpg" alt="Magellano 50 Yacht" width="523" height="800" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Magellano 50 Yacht</p></div>
<p>For this reason, being the world’s first shipyard to achieve RINA “Green Plus” notation in the mid-sized vessel segment (under 50’) is an exceptional triumph for the company’s design team. The Magellano 50 yacht meets all the requisites demanded from her low-emission engines (the Magellano 50 yacht is powered by two brand-new latestgeneration 425 hp Cummins common rail engines, with electronic fuel-consumption management) to her highperformance hull and propellers; from the anti-UV film applied to reduce heat exchange through the glass surfaces to the tracking of consumption and tank levels, with a charging and discharging log; and from the LED lighting to the infusion lamination of the principal fiberglass components, a procedure carried out in the Azimut shipyard in Avigliana, <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=italy-yacht-charter" target="_self">Italy</a>, which has the ISO 14001 Environment standard certificate and the BS OHSAS 18001.</p>

<p>Quote from Mr. Paolo Casani, CEO of Azimut Yachts, “Creating luxury products while paying maximum respect to the environment and workers has always been part of Azimut’s DNA. The ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certificates demonstrate it and this award is additional confirmation that we are steering in the right direction!”</p>

It has grown into a successful UIM International series which includes lowemissions four stroke competition in <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=sweden-yacht-charter" target="_self">Sweden</a>, <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=Germany-Yacht-Charter" target="_self">Germany</a>, <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/summary/poland" target="_self">Poland</a>, <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=location-guides&amp;location=Latvia-556" target="_self">Latvia</a>, <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=norway-yacht-charter" target="_self">Norway</a>, Hungary, <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=location-guides&amp;location=France-467" target="_self">France</a>, <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/summary/the-netherlands" target="_self">the Netherlands</a>, <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/summary/china" target="_self">China</a> and other UIM nations, with approximately 60 boats registered world-wide.</p>
<p>Low-Emissions 2-Strokes &#8211; Global demand for low emissions race engines continues to grow as event promoters realize the need for creating affordable classes featuring clean, environmentally responsible engines. The OptiMax<br />
200XS SST is the official power of the UIM F1H2O Nations Cup Series.</p>
<p>The series features drivers competing in identical boats using identical engines and props. Mercury Racing has made an impact in the greening of UIM Class 3C offshore racing as well. The low-emissions OptiMax 200XS ROS (Race offshore) has replaced the carbureted 2.0 Liter Mercury XR2 race outboard as the power of choice for this exciting outboard offshore racing class.</p>
<p>“Mercury customers, myself included, want to boat on clean water and in a healthy environment. Mercury Racing showcases our environmentally responsible technologies through powerboat racing and performance boating worldwide,” said Mercury Racing President Fred Kiekhaefer.</p>
<p><strong>Special Mention for &#8220;ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFIT&#8221; to:</strong></p>
<p><strong>PLANET SOLAR PROJECT</strong></p>
<p>PlanetSolar is the largest solar boat in the world. The 537 m2 of solar panels supply 6 blocks of lithium-ion batteries; a technology that provides power and energy density for an autonomy never achieved before. Indeed, each sunrise supplies the catamaran with the needed energy to continue its route.</p>

<p>The designer of PlanetSolar, Craig Loomes from <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=new-zealand-yacht-charter" target="_self">New Zealand</a>, has already developed many innovative ships throughout the world. Several months of research have determined the dimensions and the design of this great ship according to the chosen route. The engineers had to find andoptimize solutions for converting and storing energy as well as for the aerodynamics, the propulsion of the boat and the choice of materials.</p>
<p>The incredibly lightweight carbon structure of this futuristic vessel is extremely durable. The clean and quiet boat is called Tûranor PlanetSolar which means « power of the sun » in the mythology of the novelist JRR Tolkien.  It was launched in March 2010 in <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=Kiel-Yacht-Charter" target="_self">Kiel</a>, Germany, in the shipyards of Knierim Yachtbau, after 18 months and more than 65,000 hours of construction. Having accomplished almost already of the World Tour, the crew is proud of<br />
the work and the options chosen.</p>
<p>PlanetSolar has proven that solar energy works and that its history is just beginning… <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=location-guides&amp;location=Singapore-534" target="_self">Singapore</a>, <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/tecnomar-4th-mumbai-international-boat-show" target="_self">Mumbai</a>, <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=Abu-Dhabi-Yacht-Charter" target="_self">Abu Dhabi</a>… These stop-overs are more than mere moments for the crew to stretch their legs. They are unique opportunities to meet local people and to promote both solar energy and clean mobility!</p>

<p>The « SolarVillage » (powered as it should be by solar panels) is deployed near the boat to educate visitors and to host cultural events, games, lectures, interactive exhibitions and film screenings. Wherever it stops, PlanetSolar creates enthusiasm and admiration, touching the hearts and minds of the people by sharing with them a different vision of the future that is already available today.</p>
<p>“PlanetSolar is very proud and honored to receive that Special Mention for &#8220;Environmental Benefit&#8221; from the UIM. By completing the first around the world tour only propelled by solar energy, PlanetSolar aims to demonstrate that we have the technologies available today to reduce our dependency on fossil energy. This Special Mention is a great help to convey our message,&#8221; stated Raphael Domjan, Planet Solar’s founder.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A young and talented designer Micheal Givens, one of the 2011 ShowBoats Design Awards ´Young Designer of the Year´ finalists, has created a luxury motor yacht KT, representing a mixture of old and new ideas. The basic concept of the KT superyacht captures the elegance and class of 1930s fantail motoryachts, but with a sleek and modern twist, outdoor deck space and long, timeless lines. </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_53005" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-53005" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/luxury-motor-yacht-kt-designed-michael-givens/luxury-motor-yacht-kt-designed-by-michael-givens"><img class="size-medium wp-image-53005" title="Luxury Motor Yacht KT designed by Michael Givens" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Luxury-Motor-Yacht-KT-designed-by-Michael-Givens-665x150.jpg" alt="Luxury Motor Yacht KT designed by Michael Givens" width="665" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Luxury Motor Yacht KT designed by Michael Givens</p></div>
<p><strong>Outdoor space</strong><br />
Classic proportions and expansive open and covered deck spaces define her outdoor space. Dining and formal/informal gatherings are possible on the main and bridge decks. A grand outdoor staircase leads to the sundeck lounge area and Jacuzzi. The solid teak-covered outdoor areas allow owner and guests to maintain close contact to the surrounding sea at all times.</p>
<div id="attachment_53006" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-53006" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/luxury-motor-yacht-kt-designed-michael-givens/kt-superyacht-by-michael-givens"><img class="size-medium wp-image-53006" title="KT Superyacht by Michael Givens" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/KT-Superyacht-by-Michael-Givens-665x150.jpg" alt="KT Superyacht by Michael Givens" width="665" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">KT Superyacht by Michael Givens</p></div>
<p><strong>Water recreation</strong><br />
The forward yacht tender garage contains a large custom launch, rib and three jet-skis as well as numerous water toys. The aft beach club/dock allows owner and guests to take full advantage of all water recreation opportunities. A large dive room supports underwater activities, with an emergency hyperbaric chamber located in the engine room to provide ultimate peace of mind.</p>
<p><strong>Indoor space</strong><br />
Exterior decks flow seamlessly into intimate indoor spaces. The main saloon´s floor-to-ceiling windows continue the relationship with the sea. The grand staircase leads to the staterooms, which are designed for privacy yet still allow ample views of the sea.</p>
<div id="attachment_53007" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-53007" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/luxury-motor-yacht-kt-designed-michael-givens/givens-luxury-yacht-kt"><img class="size-medium wp-image-53007" title="Givens Luxury Yacht KT" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Givens-Luxury-Yacht-KT-665x150.jpg" alt="Givens Luxury Yacht KT" width="665" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Givens Luxury Yacht KT</p></div>
<p><strong>Family space</strong><br />
The owner´s area incorporates a deck club for intimate family time separated from the guest areas. Lounge chairs and games table allow for quality time with spectacular views.</p>
<p><strong>Efficient design</strong><br />
The long and narrow hull form combined with extremely efficient MTU diesel/electric-powered Azipods create a very environmentally friendly motor yacht. The propulsion package is both extremely quiet and efficient, allowing for clean operation and swift passages.</p>
<div id="attachment_53008" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-53008" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/luxury-motor-yacht-kt-designed-michael-givens/super-yacht-kt-interior"><img class="size-medium wp-image-53008" title="Super Yacht KT Interior" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Super-Yacht-KT-Interior-665x151.jpg" alt="Super Yacht KT Interior" width="665" height="151" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Super Yacht KT Interior</p></div>
<p><strong>Interior design</strong><br />
The interior is a modern yet warm mix of neutral woods and interesting textiles. The joinery is composed of waxed white oak and Italian Indian rosewood. The design incorporates many long horizontal planking details reminiscent of hull planking on class IC yachts. Textiles incorporate interesting textures and appealing colors. Satin silver accents the wood and parchments is used extensively as wall covering. The open-treated grand staircase has a central waterfall over aged copper overall. The interior is relaxed, warm, modern and &#8211; most importantly &#8211; in perfect harmony with the exterior design.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Dutch Diana Yacht Design yacht concept - a 63m eco-friendly motor yacht Diana Navitas - is one of the most sustainable and comfortable yachts in her class.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>To suit the constantly changing needs of the clients in a sustainable way is the main idea behind the 63m luxury motor yacht Diana Navitas concept by <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=yacht-results&amp;builder=diana+yacht+design-209" target="_self">Diana Yacht Design</a>. Multiple large sundecks, a beach club including pool, extendable swimming platforms and a large luxury owner&#8217;s suite with private sundeck, Jacuzzi and 180º view over sea mixed up with eco-friendly hybrid technology makes Diana Navitas superyacht one of the most sustainable and comfortable vessels in her class.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong></p>
<div id="attachment_52159" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-52159" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/63m-green-motor-yacht-diana-navitas-concept-diana-yacht-design/63m-green-motor-yacht-diana-navitas-concept-by-diana-yacht-design"><img class="size-medium wp-image-52159" title="63m green motor yacht Diana Navitas concept by Diana Yacht Design" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/63m-green-motor-yacht-Diana-Navitas-concept-by-Diana-Yacht-Design-665x376.jpg" alt="63m green motor yacht Diana Navitas concept by Diana Yacht Design" width="665" height="376" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">63m green motor yacht Diana Navitas concept by Diana Yacht Design</p></div>
<p></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Everything is done to make 207´ super yacht Diana Navitas as efficient as possible without compromising to the luxury on board. A lightweight aluminum hull and structure together with a smart slim hull saves a lot of fuel and weight. No energy is wasted on this yacht.</p>
<p>Each guest cabin is equipped with a touch screen, so guests and owners will be aware of their energy consumption in a relaxed manner. The cooling water from the generators and water heated by the solar panel is used to cool the yacht with what is called absorption cooling, an energy saving air-conditioning.</p>
<p>This, in combination with good insulation, energy saving LED lightning and a smart energy management system ensures low carbon dioxide emissions and maximum profit from solar radiation captured by the 312 square metre large solar deck. Energy coming from the solar panels and the generators which is not used to propel the yacht is directly stored in the 1.9 MWh Lithium Ion battery package.</p>
<div id="attachment_52160" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-52160" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/63m-green-motor-yacht-diana-navitas-concept-diana-yacht-design/207%c2%b4-luxury-yacht-diana-navitas"><img class="size-medium wp-image-52160" title="207´ luxury yacht Diana Navitas" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/207´-luxury-yacht-Diana-Navitas-665x408.jpg" alt="207´ luxury yacht Diana Navitas" width="665" height="408" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">207´ luxury yacht Diana Navitas</p></div>
<p>The generators can always run on optimal performance. The 63m luxury yacht Diana Navitas can enter a harbor noiseless and without greenhouse gasses by running on the battery pack. This is very comfortable for the users of the yacht but also for the people in the harbor. Their experience is a calm entrance of a yacht without noise and stench.</p>
<p><strong>Sustainability on the Diana Navitas superyacht is based on four pillars:</strong></p>
<p>-focus on low (renewable) energy consumption;</p>
<p>-awareness of energy consumption by the owners;</p>
<p>-reduction of noise, pollution and odor;</p>
<p>-the application of sustainable materials.</p>
<p>On the innovative touch screens of the <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/summary/diana-yacht-design" target="_self">Diana Yacht Design</a> integrated in every suite and major accommodations, guests and owners can monitor the entire energy system of the yacht. By operating these touch screens the users have direct control of their energy consumption. The impact of their behavior is clearly shown on the display which creates awareness and stimulates well considered energy consumption on board.</p>
<div id="attachment_52161" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-52161" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/63m-green-motor-yacht-diana-navitas-concept-diana-yacht-design/diana-navitas-superyacht%c2%b4s-decks"><img class="size-medium wp-image-52161" title="Diana Navitas Superyacht´s decks" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Diana-Navitas-Superyacht´s-decks-665x512.jpg" alt="Diana Navitas Superyacht´s decks" width="665" height="512" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Diana Navitas Superyacht´s decks</p></div>
<p>The crucial factor to reduce the energy consumption is the user awareness. The integration of a sustainable energy management system will only realize its full benefits if the user has the knowledge to use the system in the right way. To extend the convenience for the owner, the yacht has several dynamic spaces like the dining and expandable swimming platforms.</p>
<p>The walls of the dining van flip aside making it a large outside dining area. This feature eliminates one of the two dining areas normally present on a yacht, one inside and one outside. The space of the second dining is now available for a gym, extra salon, huge lounge, etc. The swimming platforms are able to expand to 160% which results in a comfortable alrge area to enjoy the sun and ocean.</p>
<div id="attachment_52164" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-52164" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/63m-green-motor-yacht-diana-navitas-concept-diana-yacht-design/on-board-super-yacht-diana-navitas"><img class="size-medium wp-image-52164" title="On board super yacht Diana Navitas" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/On-board-super-yacht-Diana-Navitas-665x377.jpg" alt="On board super yacht Diana Navitas" width="665" height="377" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">On board super yacht Diana Navitas</p></div>
<p>The engine room stores 2x600KW generators that give the yacht a maximum speed of 12 knots and a cruising speed of 10 knots with a range of 5000nm.</p>
<p>The extendable swimming platforms makes it possible to step easy on and off board from a tender and create a larger more spacious swimming deck.</p>
<p>The huge main salon and owners suite are situated on the bridge deck. The dining area comfortably handles up to 13 guests. The owners suite has a panoramic view of 180º and a private sun deck.</p>
<p>The sun deck is the perfect place to relax, providing great views from this deck. The sky lounge features 2 seating areas and a bar. The lounge area lies behind the wheel house and also features a bar. The wheel house is equipped with the most modern equipment.</p>
<p>Diana Navitas yacht is based on vessels that have proved their stability and viability of the outline design. The arced part of the hull lies deeper than the rest of the hull resulting in less friction and therefore saves fuel during sailing.</p>
<p>The combination of luxury and comfort together with green hybrid technology makes it one of the most sustainable and comfortable yachts in her class.</p>
<p>Diana Navitas by <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=gallery&amp;gallery=diana-yacht-designs" target="_self">Diana Yacht Design</a> is designed with a round bilge displacement hull with good dead rise, transom, level keel, modern flared vertical bow with fine entrance angle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>43m catamaran yacht Formula Zero 43 is a Plug-in Carbon Neutral vessel developed by <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/summary/sauter-carbon-offset-design" target="_self">Sauter Carbon Offset Design</a> studio. Formula Zero 43 superyacht is faster, more spacious, more ergonomic and far greener than any other similar vessel.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong></p>

<p></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Luxury yacht Formula Zero 43´s catamaran configuration supports 800+square meters of light concentrating Wingsails that raise the efficiency of the largest Solar Cell Array ever deployed on a luxury superyacht of her stature.</p>
<p>Super yacht Formula Zero’s state of the art Wingsails half as tall as sails found in comparable monohulls, induce far less drag whilst generating twice as much thrust.</p>
<div id="attachment_52005" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-52005" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/43m-ecofriendly-catamaran-yacht-formula-43-sauter-carbon-offset-design/luxury-catamaran-yacht-formula-zero-43-layouts"><img class="size-medium wp-image-52005" title="Luxury catamaran yacht Formula Zero 43 - layouts" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Luxury-catamaran-yacht-Formula-Zero-43-layouts-665x320.jpg" alt="Luxury catamaran yacht Formula Zero 43 - layouts" width="665" height="320" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Luxury catamaran yacht Formula Zero 43 - layouts</p></div>
<p>Catamaran wave piercing hi-speed hulls along with Formula Zero yacht‘s self leveling sea keeping hydro &amp; aerodynamic advances, enables her to out run any vessel in her class in unparalleled comfort.</p>
<p>Cruising at 12kts a 75 to 100% reduction in GHG emissions is achieved by employing multiple diesel electric drives supported by fully rotational wingsails, power sailing wave motion regeneration, a 400 square meter solar cell array and UPS backup.</p>
<p>All combined, cruising at an average speed of 8kts yacht Formula Zero’s regenerative charge and lithium storage systems allow for a virtually unlimited zero carbon cruising range.</p>
<p>As a Certified Carbon Offset Project Formula Zero should save on average 4,000 tons of CO2 per year. Plugged in to shore power she is capable of feeding 200+Mwh’s of electricity to the grid. Enough energy to make 7,000 nautical miles of Carbon Neutral voyages every year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A young and talented <a href="http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=england-yacht-charter" target="_self">UK</a> designer Chris Bowen presents its new 55m motor yacht Solar Privacy System (SPS). Solar power is not unknown to super yacht design, but Solar Privacy System superyacht´s concept represents more than just a renewable source of energy. Her solar panels offer not only increased sustainability, but also a dynamic privacy screen, thus resulting in a dual function design feature. </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_51556" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-51556" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/55m-motor-yacht-solar-privacy-system-designed-chris-bowen/55m-motor-yacht-solar-privacy-system-designed-by-chris-bowen"><img class="size-medium wp-image-51556" title="55m Motor Yacht Solar Privacy System designed by Chris Bowen" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/55m-Motor-Yacht-Solar-Privacy-System-designed-by-Chris-Bowen-665x320.jpg" alt="55m Motor Yacht Solar Privacy System designed by Chris Bowen" width="665" height="320" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">55m Motor Yacht Solar Privacy System designed by Chris Bowen</p></div>
<p>This opens up new approaches to designing the profile, allowing the deck or shoulder line to be placed higher, giving a more simple and elegant profile. The sweeping shoulder line appears to soften the superstructure, while minimal sacrifice is made to exterior views in the lower levels.</p>
<div id="attachment_51557" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-51557" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/55m-motor-yacht-solar-privacy-system-designed-chris-bowen/bowen-55m-luxury-yacht-sps"><img class="size-medium wp-image-51557" title="Bowen 55m luxury yacht SPS" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Bowen-55m-luxury-yacht-SPS-665x300.jpg" alt="Bowen 55m luxury yacht SPS" width="665" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bowen 55m luxury yacht SPS</p></div>
<p>This is made possible as each solar panel is able to rotate 360 degrees and pivot from its base point at any angle between 0 and 110 degrees, thus improving the efficiency of the solar panels. Bowen super yacht SPS in an upright position forms a screen, providing a customisable level of privacy to the aft deck and main salon from both port and starboard sides.</p>
<p>In order to increase interior viewing angles in the forward section of the main deck. A long sweeping window runs the length of the master suite, offering panoramic views on either side.</p>
<div id="attachment_51558" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-51558" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/55m-motor-yacht-solar-privacy-system-designed-chris-bowen/super-yacht-solar-privacy-system"><img class="size-medium wp-image-51558" title="Super Yacht Solar Privacy System" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Super-Yacht-Solar-Privacy-System-665x306.jpg" alt="Super Yacht Solar Privacy System" width="665" height="306" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Super Yacht Solar Privacy System</p></div>
<p>The windows are set back from the side of the hull to allow staff to access the forward sections, but also by doing this it creates a negative space between the two sections that form the hull.</p>
<p>This is achieved by the windows running the entire length of the forward section constituting the illusion of suspension to the upper section. By breaking the hull up into these two parts, there is no definitive deck line running the length of yacht, creating a more complexed and dynamic form.</p>
<div id="attachment_51559" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-51559" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/55m-motor-yacht-solar-privacy-system-designed-chris-bowen/sps-superyacht-by-chris-bowen"><img class="size-medium wp-image-51559" title="SPS Superyacht by Chris Bowen" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SPS-Superyacht-by-Chris-Bowen-665x424.jpg" alt="SPS Superyacht by Chris Bowen" width="665" height="424" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">SPS Superyacht by Chris Bowen</p></div>
<p>The area forward of the master suite is the owners private terrace. This offers a unique vantage point to admire the surrounds and an opportunity for the owner to enjoy an  outdoor breakfast from the comfort of his own suite.</p>
<div id="attachment_51560" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-51560" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/55m-motor-yacht-solar-privacy-system-designed-chris-bowen/solar-privacy-system-yacht-concept-by-chris-bowen"><img class="size-medium wp-image-51560" title="Solar Privacy System yacht concept by Chris Bowen" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Solar-Privacy-System-yacht-concept-by-Chris-Bowen-665x362.jpg" alt="Solar Privacy System yacht concept by Chris Bowen" width="665" height="362" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Solar Privacy System yacht concept by Chris Bowen</p></div>
<p>The 55m luxury yacht SPS can be controlled remotely by mobile phone or tablet computer, allowing owners and guests full customisation of the system to suit their situation. Although the captain would take charge of positioning the SPS yacht for energy generation, owners and guests can choose the privacy settings, choosing from various interchangeable settings. As each panel can move independently, they could choose to lower the forward half to allow sight lines and natural light into the main salon, but opt to shelter the pool area to create either more privacy or act as a wind break when at anchor.</p>
<div id="attachment_51561" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 675px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-51561" href="http://www.charterworld.com/news/55m-motor-yacht-solar-privacy-system-designed-chris-bowen/55m-luxury-motor-yacht-sps"><img class="size-medium wp-image-51561" title="55m luxury motor yacht SPS" src="http://www.charterworld.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/55m-luxury-motor-yacht-SPS-665x375.jpg" alt="55m luxury motor yacht SPS" width="665" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">55m luxury motor yacht SPS</p></div>
<p>Using GPS in the remote devices, the panels could be arranged in a configuration that creates an uninterrupted view from a particular point, while restricting viewing angles from the outside. This works much in the same way blinds when angled up let light in from above, but prohibit a viewing angle at ground level. This feature would be most useful when owners and guests are situated in one place, dinning table, bar, pool etc.</p>
