Melissa, Silent 60

Description

Introducing Melissa a 2022 Silent 60 solar-electric power catamaran. Melissa offers a rare opportunity to step into the Silent world of solar-electric yachting right away, without the multi-year wait of a new build. Meticulously maintained by her current owner, who is upgrading to a larger Silent Yacht model, Melissa offers the rare chance for her new owner to enjoy a “near new” Silent 60, one of the most advanced, self-sustaining cruising yachts on the water today. Designed for families, adventurers, and environmentally minded cruisers, or those that that just love having the very latest tech, this yacht blends sustainability, long range autonomy and luxurious liveability in a way few vessels can match.

ECO Features

At the forefront of Silent Yachts philosophy is clean renewable power, Melissa embodies this with her premium eco upgrades.

With a High-capacity solar array of 16.8 kW per hour, providing up to 90 kWh of energy per day under optimal conditions. This delivers exceptional independence from shore power and dramatically reduces running costs.

With the flybridge and coach roof fully covered with solar panels, Melissa also features an up/down retractable flybridge roof. This not only protects the flybridge when its not in use but reduces the air drag and increases efficiency while underway but when raised gives you a beautiful helming and relaxing station when you want to be outside while underway.

Solar/Electric cruising is not all, this Silent 60 has a special upgrade making her even more energy efficient on long downwind passages. Melissa comes complete with a Kite sail propulsion system, giving a reduction in energy consumption and increased speed when the conditions are right. The Kite sail is flown at heights where the wind is stronger, resulting in the pulling power being up to 10 times stronger than conventional sails. As part of the complete Kite system, this innovative upgrade includes a dedicated forepeak compartment to store the Kite and the infrastructure and electrical connections for the installation of the winch and mast.

Melissa boasts 4 Guest cabins including 1 Owner stateroom with a private lounge, 1 VIP cabin and 2 Guest cabins, all with en-suites. Galley up in the saloon and with both a forward exit to the bow and aft sliding doors to the aft cockpit, natural ventilation and an indoor-outdoor connection is enhanced. The decks are covered in synthetic teak, not only far easier to maintain but another eco conscious feature. Further upgrades include underwater lights, a hydraulic aft platform to house the tender, with capacity of 500kg.

Overall, Melissa delivers the Silent 60’s renowned clean-energy performance with a specification tailored for sustainable, modern cruising. The current owner is completely sold on the eco solar electric concept and has nothing but good things to say about Silent Yachts and the technology they incorporate, so much so that he has already purchased and is enjoying his NEW SILENT YACHT.
