Solar sailing boat

Filed under: DESIGN — 200702 at 2:13 am on Wednesday, May 30, 2007

Hybrid boat is not unique, but a sailing boat whose sail could also be a solar panel might attract your eyes. As a travel vessel, this boat will give you a better sight around Statue of Liberty.
Even on a cloudy day without any wind, it could also powered by batteries and low-sulfur diesel fuel.

This boat could carry up to 600 people and produce half less greenhouse gas than regular gas-guzzling ferries. Maximum speed is 10 to 13 knots.
