Sunreef Yachts held a press conference two days ago in Cannes with Mike Horn, on board on 80 Sunreef Power Eco, to mark the forty-six Cannes Yachting Festival and present an exclusive briefing on the company's latest developments. 

 

BUILDING THE FUTURE OF YACHTING

WITH

NATURAL FIBER COMPOSITES

 

Sunreef Yachts Eco is a holistic concept reassessing every aspect of the yachting experience to make it more energy efficient and responsible. Eco catamarans built by Sunreef Yachts use the latest green tech solutions, including hi-tech electric propulsion, custom-engineered battery banks, composite-integrated solar panels, energy-saving air-conditioning or hydrogeneration. The shipyard's R&D department is currently implementing natural fibre composites to take another big step towards a sustainable yacht building process.

 

NATURAL COMPOSITES

 

Natural fibre composites (NFC) implemented by Sunreef Yachts Eco, use flax fibre to obtain composite structures of the highest quality and excellent mechanical characteristics. Sourced from the French Upper Normandy the high-quality fibre is paired with bio-based or recyclable resin to create truly natural composites. The NFC structures will have their Life Cycle Assessment, showing the ecological benefits of choosing them over standard structures.

 

A NEGATIVE CO2 FOOTPRINT

 

Flax fabrics demonstrate a negative CO2 footprint, due to the absorption of CO2 during the plant growth. On top of that, Sunreef Yachts Eco natural composites can be recycled. The Sunreef R&D department is currently developing the technology enabling chemical recycling of the composites. This process involves the extraction of both the resin and the fibre, in order to give both materials a new life.

 

NEW POSSIBILITIES

 

Due to the natural translucency of flax fiber, it is possible to build lighting sources into the composite structures to explore new design possibilities. In addition, flax fabrics can be woven into countless patterns and can be dyed into an endless variety of colours. While non-structural elements and furniture made of flax-based composite are already part of the Sunreef Yachts Eco offer, the shipyard is already working on introducing larger structures and solar panel integration.

 

Sunreef 80 Eco Hydrogen

The Art Of Pure Yachting

 

The journey continues. A clean cruise in harmony with the elements. A serene sail to new horizons of balance, silence and elegance. A zero emission yachting experience, where the sun, the water and the wind are your fuel. A yacht where hydrogen hi-tech meets passion for excellence.

BALANCE - SILENCE - ELEGANCE

A perfect balance of energy harnessed from renewable sources. An experience of pure freedom in complete silence. A new philosophy of elegance at sea. Sail and leave no trace.

Our philosophy goes far beyond boat building. We craft experiences. Before we design a tangible object, we always take the time to think about the aura we want to create. The Sunreef 80 Eco Hydrogen delivers a message of respect and responsibility. She is the synonym of comfort and silence. At the same time, this yacht uses the latest technology, so she appeals to all those who like to look into the future.

OCEANS OF FREEDOM

"SUNREEF ULTIMA is a powerful response to a new market demand. We now have the ultimate hull shape for all those who are looking to enjoy quick getaways in speed, comfort and style.
