Her elegant profile draws inspiration from the golden age of sailing while incorporating contemporary design details. Zero's classical sailing exterior profile is elevated by her sustainable design, integrating new technologies with an “energy-first perspective” that prioritises innovation rather than optimisation.&nbsp;These include ‘breathing’ masts, a 250-kilowatt hydrogeneration system, hybrid photovoltaic-thermal panels, an advanced microgrid and bespoke control software. A defining feature of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> is the absence of combustion engines. Instead of a conventional engine room, the yacht features a main technical space dedicated to managing her integrated energy system. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399680/image/large-229069c7c9a4d42cd05fe95af44098b8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399680">The sailing yacht is powered entirely by renewable sources, combining wind, solar and hydro-generated energy. Electricity is produced while under sail through hydro-generating thrusters, while a 100-square-metre solar array captures both heat and light with 60 per cent efficiency. A wind turbine further contributes to the yacht’s energy production by harnessing offshore airflow. The generated power is stored in an industrial-grade battery system with a capacity of 5,000 kilowatt-hours, supplying energy to all onboard systems.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399681/image/large-b4de7511b75a1d3a1c831362bcb98aca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399681">To encourage wider adoption of the technology, the shipyard has made the project's data and systems publicly available through the open-source platform Foundationº. This includes research findings, software code and system design schematics, enabling others to build on the work in future projects.

Alternatively, variable-speed generators can adjust their output based on the onboard load requirements in order to limit fuel consumption.Her batteries are complete with a ‘peak-shaving’ function, avoiding the need for activating a second or third generator during short-term load peaks. In addition, the batteries ensure the yacht can continue running even in the event of a temporary loss of shore power, preventing blackouts.

Some, apparently, have been close to the $80,000,000 mark.&nbsp;The Antique Observer goes on to report that the matter may have been settled during yesterday’s cabinet meeting, and the successful bidder could be notified within days. The government has pledged to announce both the buyer and final sale price. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/4156/image/large-7251cb48df23f0874bb6c1878b1c256c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/4156">Some of the proceeds from the sale are believed to go toward settling the bill racked up at Falmouth Harbor, for fuel, maintenance costs and the crew’s salaries.
