The Turkish shipyard U4 Marine is currently constructing a 32-meter sailing catamaran equipped with a hybrid propulsion system. The hull and superstructure are already complete, with the project scheduled for delivery in May 2026.
This custom-built catamaran will feature a 40.5-meter rotating mast and boom, both remotely operated. The hybrid propulsion system includes a 250 kWh battery pack that can be charged via the main engine, 70 square meters of solar panels, or through propeller regeneration while sailing. The exterior design and naval architecture have been developed by the New Zealand-based studio Greg Young Design.
The yacht will accommodate four cabins, including a master suite located on the main deck. The flybridge will house the helm station along with a relaxation area featuring a jacuzzi, a fully equipped bar, a coffee and dining table, and a barbecue setup.
Fold-out balconies will be installed on both sides of the stern, enhancing the onboard living experience.
