The phrase "eco-friendly yacht design" is being used more and more frequently to mean more and more things. Just in the past year, we've seen the launch of the Spirit Yachts 111 flagship with a 100-kW Torqeedo electric-propulsion system; the launch of the 357-foot Oceanco Bravo Eugenia with a hybrid-propulsion setup; and the unveiling of a 223-foot catamaran concept by VPLP Design and Merveille Yachting with batteries that can recharge by wind power above the waterline and by water power below it.
