- Romain Motteau, Deputy CEO: “Aware of the urgency of preserving the planet, we are living through a great cultural change and the new generation expects much of us at the dawn of this new era and these realisations. Our owners are also changing their needs and today expect their boat to be more environmentally responsible, while maintaining a high level of demand in terms of comfort. As part of an external audit, it has been established that 20% of our carbon footprint comes from production and 80% from the use of the boats.”
Mathieu Fountaine, Deputy CEO, in charge of the Smart Electric project: "With only one internal combustion engine for 2 electric motor, the Aura 51 is slowly moving towards all-electricity. This Aura 51, the new model from Fountaine-Pajot, differs from her 4,000 predecessors by the new technology she carries. The advances involve the two pods, one under each hull, that propel the boat at the same time as their hydrogenerator is producing electricity, in addition to the energy provided by the solar panels"

This could be a very good choice for me. I like it very much.
I wish FP would consider a hybrid propulsion system like HH Catamaran is starting to incorporate in a couple of their models. Electric with a diesel backup seems to be a pretty safe option at the moment.
Dear JH, the Aura 51 already have a Diesel Back Up. Please contact a Fountaine Pajot Dealer to get more information > bit.ly/3SbwPZ1
@@FountainePajot Both FP and HH use diesel as backup, but HH have 2 x regular diesel engines with a special setup, allowing the diesels and the electric motors with power re-generation from the same shaft. While FP uses a separate single diesel genset to produce electricity to the electrical only motors.
hydrojet propulsion is the future of long-distance boats
Military tech?
¿is it possible to navigate all around the world with this catamaran only using wind and sails? and batteries and generator only for lights and water, not for sailing?
