In traditional terms the yachting world is divided into two categories, motor and sail. Motor requires propulsion from consuming carbon-based fuel, a very simple solution. Sail on the other hand, deploys a complex and fragile rig which can often be restrictive.  Evidence is the first ever wing-yacht, a 156ft catamaran powered by a 400 sq m sail.

Oceanwings manages to bridge this propulsion divide through innovation and inspiration. It produces twice the power of a conventional sail, the wing is reefable, furlable as well as fully automated. What’s more when integrated into a hybrid propulsion system, fuel consumption of the main engines can be reduced resulting in less greenhouse gases.

W/Y Evidence offers the performance, space and stability of a catamaran with the extra bonus of a simple yet pioneering rig. Designed by the French based naval architects VPLP , Evidence, a cruising multihull, can accommodate a maximum of 12 guests and 10 crew. She was specifically designed for crossing the Atlantic or further afield. Her automated wingsail and mechanical propulsion which can also be electric gives her an incredible range. This will allow you and your crew to enjoy the peace and pleasure of sailing under wind power, what joy!

VPLP Design reveals wingsail yacht concept Evidence

French studio VPLP Design has released its latest yacht concept, a 47.55 metre wingsail catamaran called Evidence.

Using similar technology to that which propelled the America’s Cup racing boats during the last two campaigns, Evidence only requires a relatively small sailplan for her length of 400 square metres.

In a statement, the studio added: “Evidence offers the stability, space and performance of a catamaran with the bonus of a simple, yet pioneering rig — so you and your crew can enjoy the peace and pleasure of sailing under wind power.”

Accommodation is for up to 12 guests split between six staterooms, including a main-deck owner’s cabin that measures 46.5 square metres. A double and a twin cabin are also located on the main deck, while two further twins and another double on the lower deck complete the guest layout.

The crew quarters would be situated entirely in the starboard hull and would allow for a staff of up to ten people. Vital statistics include a 16.6 metre beam and a maximum draught of three metres.

Out on deck, Evidence offers plenty of options for relaxing and soaking up the sun, with a private owner’s cockpit near the bow, upper deck sunpads and a vast superyacht sundeck , complete with glass-bottomed spa pool. Meanwhile, extensive storage space allows Evidence to carry two tenders, Seabobs and a full set of Scuba diving gear.

Auxiliary power would come from a pair of 490hp Caterpillar C12 diesel engines that propel this multihull superyacht to a top speed of 16 knots and offer comfortable cruising at 14 knots.

Lagoon Motor Yacht

40 MY , 630 MY , Sixty7 and Seventy8

An extension of the Smartboat, the Lagoon MY wasn’t initially designed as a motorboat but a sailing yacht with the underlying idea of retaining the benefits of a catamaran (stability, independence and space for the owners). Comfort and sea-keeping qualities were given priority over speed. Changing the after section of the hull transformed the Lagoon-type sailing boat into an ocean-going cruiser with an optimal speed of 12–15 knots.

 width=

And these sea-keeping qualities, inherited from the celebrated Lagoon 620, and her considerable operating range offer the owner the potential for long, trouble-free sea voyages. Not only that, the comfortable and luxurious interiors make her a veritable floating residence, whether at moorings or underway.

 width=

The Seventy 8 is none other than the motorized version of the Seventy 7, flagship of the Lagoon range, and enjoys all the same features that contributed to the latter’s success: elegant silhouette, stylish coachroof, plenty of space, customizable flybridge (jacuzzi or sundeck), large platform forward (30 m2), customizable interior of the stern section of the port hull (meeting room, cinema…). And let’s not forget the remarkable hull door on starboard which folds down into a private swimdeck for the owner’s cabin, as well as facilitating ventilation and crew access to the saloon. With a choice of 510 HP or 580 HP propulsion, the Seventy 8 has an operating range of 4,000 nautical miles at a speed of 19 knots. Perfect for fetching distant horizons.
