The intriguing solar-powered yacht Silent Yachts 120

[@NeonCab]

Are you as excited about the upcoming Silent Yacht 120 as I am? Let me know in the comments below. And don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a super thanks if you want to help me and this channel out, I appreciate you all.

It’s ugly! The Bow needs to be more pointed the round shape really is hard to look at!

[@NeonCab]

Compared to their smaller vessels, I'm not as much a fan of this design.

[@petrsvoboda3902]

I think they are using unreal engine 5 or higher to render the images

[@NeonCab]

Likely, maybe Blender.

Hi Phill. Any new informations about the Silent Yacht 120, past recent threat of bankrupcy to Silent Yacht venture?

[@NeonCab]

I unfortunately have not heard of any new developments.

[@ultramarinus2478]

@@NeonCab Thanks for reply. Crossing fingers for Silent yachts and all their designs, especially the big and powerfull ones, like The S.y. 120. Looking forward to your (and your sones) vids, Phill. Btw, my name is Martin and yet do not have own familly, to balance out the informations you gave in your videos.

They are clearly getting _uglier_ by now, the progress from SY 64 to 80 was so much better…

[@NeonCab]

I kind of agree, I think they are going the wrong way looks wise.

[@anotherguycalledsmith]

@@NeonCab I simply love this clean SY 80 and the fact that there are no more unnecessary steps/levels inside. I am also not entirely sure about this Turkish influence on SY, I think that Italians are better at this… Especially with this SY 120 in this rendering, I am missing a recognizable “line” in the design process. Sorry, but it looks “mounted” in a bad way. I prefer the elegance of the SY 80. Even winning big in a lottery, I would opt for the SY 80 instead the SY 120… ;-)

I agree about the water level windows - need more view from the cabins. They should also allow fold down walls from the cabins to become balconies when dock of moored. Would like to see cabins for guests and crew.

[@NeonCab]

Yeah I can't wait till we have a better understanding of the interior layout.

[@Alphasig336]

I will say I am glad the solar panel arrays move out of way when not under way to provide additional sun deck space.

[@NeonCab]

I think that is pretty clever.

[@Panda_Gibs]

"or one particularly selfish one." and you just described the target demographic.

[@NeonCab]

😂

They do have an option for a port side door w/crane to unload personal submarine and toys, along with 2 boats. I would like to know the reasons for the pronounced large point on the front of the ship. To me it doesn`t look good. I would venture a guess to the extended spontoon that it is the most efficient design. I would like to see a different design even if it is a little less efficient. I suppose there is a lot of customizing on a large ship as this is. I sure am glad Silent Yachts are building these beautiful boats.

[@NeonCab]

I don't know what it's for, but I doubt there are any cranes on the production version of this vessel.

[@savagecub]

I gotta move those antennas to the front so I can get my helo on that pad.

[@NeonCab]

I'd feel nervous landing on this.

[@savagecub]

@@NeonCab At least there wouldn’t be people shooting at me !

[@Unstoppabletravel]

The Silent Yacht looks nice but it's really a coastal cruiser. When they say it can do transatlantic, it will still require diesel or a kite system because it doesn't generate enough power and it would take you longer to cross if you didn't use diesel. Until they come out with better solar panels or better battery storage, a hybrid catamaran is the best way to go. I believe the HH manufacturer offers a hybrid with solar panel sails as well.

[@brianhernandez589]

Absolutely stunning! Do you happen to know what kind of roll mitigation, if any, is on board?

[@LasseAhrenkiel]

Price?

[@NeonCab]

It has not been launched yet. I'll do another video once we have more information, make sure to sub and ring the bell for new video notifications.

[@YouWillBe322]

About 21m and up

[@marlonholt40]

I saw this but didnt realize it was your video.

[@arturocuevas4306]

it's a dream

[@horyeshors]

❤️🌹👍

[@RA-gk5zg]

From an engineering perspective this is a fail. Solar power on a boat doesn’t scale. Look up square cube relationships. The solar on this yacht is a marketing gimmick and couldn’t even cover house requirements.

[@JJ-zg1hh]

I think you need to do some more research into Silent Yachts. They already supply solar yachts up to 80 feet comfortably. I have no doubt of their ability to succeed with this design.

[@Panda_Gibs]

Look at me! I know a science term! Surely I can eyeball a design and less-than-napkin-math my conclusion about its viability.
