- Production Technology
- R65 is built with aluminum, ensuring durability, stability, and efficiency in all sea conditions. Its hydrodynamic hull design allows for smooth and reliable performance, optimizing both fuel efficiency and hybrid power usage. High-quality aluminum is used for structural reinforcements and fittings, making the yacht robust and long-lasting, even in harsh marine environments. The hybrid propulsion system, combining efficient diesel engines and a powerful electric motor, provides flexibility and reduced fuel consumption for long journeys. Additionally, advanced navigation and control systems ensure easy operation and a comfortable experience on board.
- Design Challenge
- One of the main challenges in this research is ensuring the yacht's strength while maintaining a lightweight structure and durability, given the use of aluminum in the hull. Another key challenge is integrating smart technology and hybrid automation systems to enhance control, navigation, and energy efficiency. Lastly, selecting high-quality materials that can withstand harsh marine conditions while ensuring long-term durability and sustainability remains a crucial aspect of yacht construction.
- Research
- This research explores the design, material selection, and technology used in the production of modern hybrid trawler yachts, with a focus on performance, comfort, and sustainability. It examines the benefits of aluminum hull construction, the efficiency of hybrid propulsion systems, and the role of advanced navigation technology in improving the yachting experience. By analyzing structural integrity and material durability, this study aims to contribute to the development of stronger, more efficient, and eco-friendly yachts.
- Inspiration
- The design is inspired by nature’s balance and the harmony of modern hybrid technology. The strong aluminum hull ensures durability and efficiency, making the yacht both powerful and reliable for long voyages. The smooth lines of the exterior reflect the motion of ocean waves, while the carefully selected colors of blue and white, enhance its connection to the sea, evoking a sense of calmness and adventure. Inside, the yacht’s spacious and thoughtfully designed cabins prioritize comfort and functionality, ensuring a luxurious experience during extended journeys.
- Project Duration
- The R65 Hybrid Trawler yacht was started and completed in 2023 in Tuzla for a French client.
- Operation Flow
- The R65 yacht features an innovative hybrid propulsion system designed for optimal efficiency and sustainability. This system offers multiple navigation modes to adapt to different cruising needs - Diesel Mode: Ensures long-range cruising with optimized fuel consumption, providing reliable performance for extended journeys. - Electric Mode: Enables silent and vibration-free operation with reduced emissions, ideal for environmentally conscious navigation. - Booster Mode: A combination of diesel and electric power that enhances overall efficiency, delivering increased performance when needed.
Thanks to its hybrid design, the R65 achieves 20-40% fuel savings, significantly reducing operational costs while extending cruising range. Additionally, the system lowers carbon emissions, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly yachting experience. - Team Members
