SILENT 60 solar electric catamaran

SILENT-YACHTS has increased its fleet of innovative oceangoing solar electric catamarans introducing the new SILENT 60 that has been launched recently at Silent-Yachts production facility in Thailand, which is led by the Swiss entrepreneur Philippe Guénat. This is the first unit of the model while eight more hulls are currently under construction and 17 are ordered in total. What makes it even greener is that it was built with a kite wing, a special system that in contrast to conventional sailing yachts, does not require a big mast and the kite sail generates much more power per square meter than a conventional sail. SILENT-YACHTS offers the optional available kite-sail system for all their models.

Guess the front exit version has a better layout suited for the kite option? What sort of speed can you get from the kite?
