Alastair Callender’s super-green superyacht Soliloquy at the Monaco Yacht Show
Wednesday, 16 September 2009
Alastair Callender of Callender Designs is pleased to report to SuperYachtTimes.com that his 1:48 scaled model of the super-green superyacht Soliloquy will be on display at the Lürssen Yachts stand during the Monaco Yacht Show.
As we reported in May, Soliloquy is a radical 58m, rigid-wing superyacht concept, which will be powered from wind, solar and Hybrid Marine Power (HMP) technology from Solar Sailor Holdings Ltd., allowing for zero-emission capability.
“In this ever-increasing environmentally conscious time, I wanted to focus my attention on looking at possible solutions to some of the current issues associated with the superyacht industry,” says Alastair Callender. “ Eco-luxury should no longer be viewed as an oxymoron. ‘Soliloquy – the Super-Green Superyacht’ is a true metaphor to show that this ideal is viable. Every opportunity to be environmentally responsible has been ensured.
Soliloquy brings all the luxury one would expect of a superyacht, without the noise, vibration, fuel costs and vast pollution levels of a motor yacht, nor the crew manning levels needed of a cloth-sailed rig. "Proven state-of–the-art patented technology by Solar Sailor Holdings Ltd. has brought this personal dream one step closer to reality,” concludes Alastair.
