Greenline 39 Hybrid review | Motor Boat & Yachting

[@PelenTan]

Very much liked how you gave the good with the bad. A very balanced review.

[@anthonybasiliere9366]

Nice job showing the features on this lovely craft. I did hear 36 a number of times in reference to the model/size and I am assuming it was a gaff. I would love to find out the highest possible range and average gpa data.

[@jmartini2387]

She used to be the 36, but the folks in marketing rebranded her the “39” as she is 39’ long.

[@petssociety8666]

Did you say "lets see IF it works" 0:30

[@shinnyspace]

Light wood is tremendously lovely

[@markpullinger7324]

Do u think this boat is ideal in poole harbour or going round to Bournemouth or Swanage

[@brimstone5931]

36!!! I came here looking for the 39

[@jcl1201]

Is it able to run a generator and the electric motor at the same time?

[@tophan5146]

Jo Jo This boat does not have a separate generator, and that’s a beauty of it.

[@4406bbldb]

I I'M not official BUT i don't see why not. The 40 ft. Is my favorite and really like the hybrid.

[@XiBaXha]

On the GL39 you can order a 7kW Cummins-Onan Generator…but the main-diesel can recharge the battery-bank in 90min.

[@doctors8157]

Any chance of reviewing the new Greenline 65 Hybrid in the near future?

[@shenoyglobal]

Is this a Category A B or C in sea worthiness?

[@MotorBoatYachting]

It's Category B

[@willandness1]

I get the point of Greenline and the HyBrid, but surely the HiBrid should be included in the base package with engine options based around that, not the other way around. Otherwise what they are marketing is a 20NM 4 knot engine that costs £30K! You can do a lot on the water for £30K...

[@seikibrian8641]

There is no engine option if you get the hybrid system; that's a joint effort by Volvo Penta and the electric drive maker whose name I can't recall at the moment. So on the 39, if you go for the hybrid drive the Volvo D3 is the only engine available.

[@darthkek1953]

@@seikibrian8641 the 39 is options of Volvo D3-220 or Yanmar 8LV-370, plus Torqueedo 80i . The 40 is Volvo + Torqueedo only.

He says 36 and the title says 39

[@marius9900]

It was 36 before, now 39

[@kel108]

36 or 39 - the reviewer says 36 in the video

[@BritonWells]

it's 39, greenline only makes 33 or 39

[@seikibrian8641]

At the time this video was made, it was a 36; you can even see it prominently displayed on the bow of the boat at the 1:52 time point. But by the time the video was released, Greenline had modified the design and the name, and so the title was changed to reflect the current reality.

[@quikgt]

They need to improve the hybrid system range and include it in price; plus interior needs help=these boats aren't cheap.

[@darthkek1953]

Then consider the hybrid price the default price. Torqueedo gubbins are not not cheap. You can get more range by adding more Torqueedo batteries, they'll do that for you (so 40 naut miles easily).

[@tophan5146]

@@darthkek1953 I wish you could add high-capacity batteries like used in electric cars.

[@darthkek1953]

@@tophan5146 some do, but the trouble is it takes a vast amount more energy to move a boat than a car. You get a car up to speed and on a level it only takes a bit more energy to maintain. But a boat? In car terms it's like trying to pull a ten ton caravan up hill. The water just saps energy. The energy density required for yachts is probably 20+ times higher than currently available; the same batteries if put in cars would give cars a 10,000 mile range. And that's just for local yachting, not exploration vessels. Our tech is improving but it's not there yet. Not for boats, not for planes.

[@tophan5146]

@@darthkek1953 You are right about all of that and I already knew it. I meant just to increase the range of hybrid drive or how long you can run appliances without recharging.

[@darthkek1953]

@@tophan5146 driving will be minimal, but appliances can be okay.

[@XiBaXha]

Ohhh....the volume-level from the diesel is to much. A Machine under the Salon...NOT good idea !

[@tophan5146]

John Doe There is nowhere else to put the engine in such small boat.

[@nauticman2707]

Typo in the title

[@seikibrian8641]

By the time the video was released, Greenline had changed the design a bit and changed the nomenclature from "36 Hybrid" to "39 Hybrid."

[@KMacFNP]

This boat costs more than my condo... :)

[@KMacFNP]

@Richard Ball Did you get my point though?

[@KMacFNP]

@Slippery Storm You completely missed my point...LOL!

[@kirkwilliams4942]

Sure is ugly, wish it had a flybridge. I don't understand how ALL boats don;t have a flybridge.

[@Sea2SeaAdventures]

4.5 kts only on electric for 20 NM? lol 😂

[@60viking]

That's not bad. I see it as perfect for running around the neighborhood. I wonder with the engines running how quick it recharges.

[@darthkek1953]

On all models other than the 33 they're able to put double batteries in so 40 nm. That's not hardcore long-distance cruising but that's a LOT of pleasure-level lazy day/weekender use.
