30 to 40 feet and less than 8 tons monohull sailboat

The sailboats that are between 9 to 12 meters are mainly chosen by pilots who want to go out to the sea as often as possible, either for pleasure or to train the crew and the boat for the races. These kinds of monohulls have one or two cabins and comfort equipment.

We recommend the following solutions for the electric motors and the autonomous production of green energy on your boat :

• Electric or hybrid motor solutions
• Solar panels
• Power generators

6 or 8 kW OCEANVOLT’s Sail Drive electric motors

OCEANVOLT sail drives are very light and allow you to gain significant space when compared to a Diesel motor. Their optimized efficiency replaces the advantages of internal combustion engines of 15 CV HP.
There is no need to modify the structure because the supports are compatible with the sail drive on the market (Volvo, Yanmar).
Besides, they work with both AGM or lithium batteries.
Finally, hydro generation is available on all OCEANVOLT models.

From 12 000 euros without taxes (6kW) and 13 000 euros HT (8kW) not including battery, installation and transport

Technological advances in terms of solar panels on boats make them almost essential nowadays, whether it is to maintain the charge of the batteries during absences, without having to moor the boat to the dock, or to spread the ever-increasing consumption on board and supply power to the batteries of the electric motor propulsion.

For a boat that is less than 30 to 40 feet where space is limited, flexible solar panels (over which you can walk) are very efficient and contribute to your autonomy.

We offer SUNBEAM products, a Swedish company that produces the strongest and most efficient flexible panels on the market

• 25% high efficiency cells and Rear Contact Technology
• Anti-slip coating trampling resistant
• Optimized coating for shaded areas
• 5-year warranty
