By using the ECO energy solutions, at the UPWIND 50 ECO, the quality of cabin charter accommodation for guests / crew has been raised to a significantly higher level.
The roof is equipped with solar panels from Sun Power Marine that are 3 mm thick and capable of generating 1 kW of electricity per hour. In addition to the solar panels, the yacht also generates electricity through a combination of a 3 KW generator and the alternators ( 200 A ) of the Volvo engines. The generated or collected electricity is stored in Lithium batteries with a total capacity of 1200 Ah.
Sanitary water is heated by solar power but on colder days the water can be heated with built-in heaters.
As a result, these solutions allow the outright, stand-alone and ecological operation of all electrical systems to cater the needs of the crew and ship providing an exceptional level of comfort for all those on board.
Sustainable tourism is vital to preserving our planet’s beauty for future generations. At UPWIND 50 ECO, we lead by example, integrating solar power, energy-efficient systems, and eco-friendly materials into every voyage. Our commitment to low-impact sailing and responsible waste practices ensures a greener tomorrow. Join us in protecting the seas while enjoying luxurious, guilt-free travel.
Ecological solutions give the catamaran complete independence from electricity and water supply ( 50 lit/h water-maker ) in marinas and guests can choose whether to use expensive and crowded marinas or not.
Volvo engines with Saildrive propulsyon system meet the most stringent envromental legislation – US EPA Tier 3. The particular emissions are reduced by 50% and cruising fuel consumption is low.
By virtue of all these features, the UPWIND 50 ECO is an extraordinarily eco-friendly catamaran with one of the lowest carbon footprints on the yacht charter market today.
