XO Boats’ EXPLR 44 named ‘Best Big Boat’ of the year
XO Boats celebrates the EXPLR 44 winning Best Big Boat of the Year, marking a new era of aluminium performance,…
The ongoing collaboration between De Antonio Yachts and Cupra has led to the introduction of the new D28 Formentor e-HYBRID, which integrates two 15kW retractable electric motors in the powertrain developed by BlueNav. Together with the 400hp Mercury concealed outboard engine, it offers a hybrid system that allows the boat to run in both combustion and fully electric mode.
In electric navigation, the D28 Formentor e-HYBRID generates zero emissions. The bank of up to six batteries gives it a range in electric mode of up to 12 miles, with about two hours of sailing at a cruising speed of 6 knots and a top speed of 8 knots.
This combination of electric motors and central outboard motor allows the user to carry out emission-free navigation in areas close to the coast, port entrances and exits, as well as sensitive and protected areas, without giving up the sporty performance and safety provided by the 400hp gasoline outboard motor for navigation in open sea, adverse conditions and long distances, and a combined range of almost 200 miles.
