A superyacht worthy to embark on any voyage.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218566/image/large-15842b75e8cf3ddd5b8cbda52bcac7c0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218566">The Sail 55 is a performance-global cruiser designed to perform well under the beating sun in the Mediterranean – which is on the doorstep of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6294" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iddes Yachts (Company)">Id</a><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6294" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iddes Yachts (Company)">des Yachts</a> shipyard and design studio – as well as those further-flung destinations that are both remote and hard to reach. It was this commitment to designing a project that can sail “off-the-grid” with just as much prowess as she can during short excursions – in short, she’s an all-rounder that can “go-anywhere” but which is also an ideal day-tripper. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218562/image/large-b606245ae9beaedfbdab4c7e42024616.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218562">As versatility headed the design agenda, Iván Salas Jefferson sought to bring the best of both worlds by unifying the fundamentals of motor and sailing yachts into one design. As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6294" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iddes Yachts (Company)">Iddes Yachts</a> has described her “The Sail 55 facilitates the jump from the motor to sail or exceeds today’s available capabilities on a sailing yacht. All without losing the benefits of motor or sail operations, on the contrary, optimising both into a unique hybrid.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218568/image/large-a80096488139fd90065103c7081640f2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218568">Her ketch rig bolsters stability and comfort, even during foul weather conditions, without the need to rely on an advanced stabilisation system. The added benefit of this for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6294" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iddes Yachts (Company)">Iddes Yachts</a> is that they could expand her proportions to the 55-metre length that she is. This size is not only generous for onboard guests, but has a degree of practicality too: she has space to store large tenders and toys in a stow-away spot under the deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218564/image/large-ef69e07c9e10a002ebdd02969713ec6e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218564"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218569/image/large-e917cdcae09bf772ecf743ee2e2196a5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218569">Sail 55’s key component is her propulsion system as she drastically reduces fuel usage during daily operations. She achieves this as she has an optimised full-electric installation, a hydro-solar energy recovering system and large battery storage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218560/image/large-38bcf5d3593e26ba9fb710f6bc46a9b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218560">&nbsp;The interior is up for curation and can be customised as an owner sees fit. With 500 GT of volume, Sail 55 can easily accommodate as many as 12 guests across six staterooms. Those onboard will also benefit from a deckhouse that offers uninterrupted views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218554/image/large-ee3dd065f85ef376ae49ea4c2014dfd8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218554"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218562/image/large-b606245ae9beaedfbdab4c7e42024616.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218562">

Iddes Yachts’ Sail 55 concept: full-electric and hybrid in more than one sense of the word

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6294" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iddes Yachts (Company)">Iddes Yachts</a>' founder Ivan Salas Jefferson has launched the designer's newest concept, a 300-metre scientific exploration vessel, fully equipped with 22 state-of-the-art laboratories, the Earth300. The one hundred percent emission-free superyacht includes a number of radical design points, including a 13-story ‘Science Sphere’ and cantilevered observation deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/191997/image/large-74a314fcb38b4112a572ba0b7d59c323.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/191997">Earth300’s route to the ever elusive goal of ‘carbon free’, has been attained with the use of a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), “a new generation of atomic energy that’s safe, sustainable and 100% emission free”. Earth300,&nbsp;championed by their CEO Aaron Olivera, is the first vessel to be powered by this innovative new technology.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/191994/image/large-f52aad408f5cfdc713f41d524b4c6694.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/191994">The vessel has capacity to accommodate 160 scientists, 20 resident experts, 40 VIP guests and 20 students, as well as 160 crew members. Those aboard will be focused on pushing the scientific study of the world’s oceans to the limits, with the vessel complete with quantum computer technology and Artificial Intelligence.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/191996/image/large-77ad35214b1ec17247b8d0eddd7b0db8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/191996">With support from a number of international partners including IBM, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a>, Triton Submarines and EYOS Expeditions, the projected launched date is set for 2025, with the preliminary design and naval engineering already complete.
