Francis Lapp X Sunreef : Reaching for the sun

The founder of Sunreef, French-native Francis Lapp just added a new 24-meter catamaran to his catalogue. But this is not just any other catamaran, this one is covered by solar panels on 80% of its surface – hull, mast and boom included. While catamarans mainly travel by the force of the wind, they sometimes need a little push, also known as marine propulsion. And let it be known: This particular engine is equipped with electric power generated partly by the solar panels. Skeptics will ask: what do you when there’s no wind or sun? Well, an emergency combustion engine is there the save the day if needed. Spacious and luxurious, this new catamaran is where we want to be right now!
