  • 00:00:00
    towards the end of last year I filmed a
  • 00:00:02
    video covering the construction of the
  • 00:00:04
    first 80-foot silent yacht the silent
  • 00:00:09
    yacht brand has been created by Michael
  • 00:00:11
    and Heike Kohler in response to
  • 00:00:13
    increasing demand for a luxury yacht
  • 00:00:16
    with world cruising ability that could
  • 00:00:19
    run on solar power the response to those
  • 00:00:27
    products and to that video has been
  • 00:00:30
    electric if you'll excuse the pun but
  • 00:00:33
    nobody saw what was right around the
  • 00:00:35
    corner in 2020 as the world launched
  • 00:00:38
    into a pandemic that would create
  • 00:00:40
    problems for manufacturing
  • 00:00:42
    internationally well now as the lockdown
  • 00:00:45
    has started to lift here in Italy we've
  • 00:00:48
    come back to pick up where we left off
  • 00:00:50
    and see what progress is being made on
  • 00:00:53
    the silents 80 catamaran
  • 00:00:59
    and frankly I was extremely surprised
  • 00:01:03
    and impressed to hear how much work has
  • 00:01:05
    continued in spite of what are let's
  • 00:01:08
    face it unprecedented challenges whilst
  • 00:01:13
    I expected to return to the facility in
  • 00:01:15
    Murata monde or photo film I was told
  • 00:01:17
    that actually the holes of the 80 had
  • 00:01:20
    already been transported to another
  • 00:01:22
    facility in the nearby town of farno for
  • 00:01:26
    the first stage of fitting out here the
  • 00:01:31
    holes already look more like the smooth
  • 00:01:33
    and polished finished that you would
  • 00:01:35
    expect on a luxury yacht this is a great
  • 00:01:39
    opportunity to see the space available
  • 00:01:41
    inside the yacht before the deck is
  • 00:01:43
    connected so let's take a look at the
  • 00:01:45
    layout of the cylons 80 while we have
  • 00:01:48
    this chance
  • 00:01:52
    actually silent yachts are very flexible
  • 00:01:54
    in the layouts for below deck level but
  • 00:01:57
    the standard arrangement provides for
  • 00:01:59
    four cabins below deck
  • 00:02:01
    the owners stateroom being the largest
  • 00:02:03
    and including an office area and a
  • 00:02:06
    palatial ensuite bathroom actually all
  • 00:02:10
    of the staterooms do have ensuite
  • 00:02:12
    bathrooms and stairways to the port and
  • 00:02:15
    starboard of the yachts make for easy
  • 00:02:17
    access for all of the guests the VIP
  • 00:02:21
    stateroom is foreseen to be located on
  • 00:02:22
    the port side and benefits from slightly
  • 00:02:25
    more wardrobe space but still the two
  • 00:02:28
    remaining guest staterooms forward of
  • 00:02:29
    the master and the VIP are very well
  • 00:02:32
    proportioned and very well equipped
  • 00:02:35
    there is space for a crew of two in the
  • 00:02:38
    area between the two hulls a game with
  • 00:02:40
    dedicated steps down from the main deck
  • 00:02:42
    but the area after the staterooms is
  • 00:02:45
    where we start to see just some of the
  • 00:02:47
    advantages of a solar-powered electric
  • 00:02:50
    yacht whilst conventional power cats
  • 00:02:55
    have to dedicate areas in the aft of
  • 00:02:57
    both holes to accommodate machinery for
  • 00:03:00
    the engine rooms the silent 80 is able
  • 00:03:03
    to use these areas for the storage of
  • 00:03:06
    tenders and toys this is because the
  • 00:03:09
    technical equipments for and electric
  • 00:03:11
    yachts is so small and silent it can be
  • 00:03:14
    distributed throughout the yachts the
  • 00:03:18
    generators are in fact below the tender
  • 00:03:20
    base and the electric motors that our
  • 00:03:22
    completely silent are so small that they
  • 00:03:25
    fit even under the floorboards
  • 00:03:30
    we'll take a look it's had the power
  • 00:03:32
    system works in a future video but for
  • 00:03:35
    now let's move up to the main deck which
  • 00:03:37
    will be a truly vast area
  • 00:03:40
    remember the beam of this yacht is just
  • 00:03:43
    shy of 11 meters that's nearly 36 feet
  • 00:03:46
    so there are oceans of space for seating
  • 00:03:49
    areas an open galley and of course a
  • 00:03:52
    helm stationed inside the yacht and
  • 00:03:55
    plenty of sunbathing and dining options
  • 00:03:57
    along with a bar area on the outside
  • 00:04:00
    deck finally most of the top of the
  • 00:04:03
    yacht is used to capture the sun's
  • 00:04:05
    energy through these large areas of
  • 00:04:07
    solar panels but still the designer has
  • 00:04:11
    made space for sunbathing relaxation and
  • 00:04:14
    even a spa tub actually another designer
  • 00:04:20
    quite well
  • 00:04:21
    Marco Cazale of to design he is a highly
  • 00:04:25
    respected yacht designer and it was
  • 00:04:28
    quite a challenge for him to incorporate
  • 00:04:30
    the requisites of a solar-powered yacht
  • 00:04:33
    the main one being a vast expanse of
  • 00:04:36
    solar panels and at the same time
  • 00:04:39
    integrates some attractive Italian
  • 00:04:42
    design I think he's done a great job and
  • 00:04:45
    judging by the number of these that
  • 00:04:47
    they've sold that say I'm not the only
  • 00:04:49
    one to think that way
  • 00:04:51
    actually silent yachts are keeping Marco
  • 00:04:53
    and his team very busy indeed since
  • 00:04:56
    recently they announced two new versions
  • 00:05:00
    of the silence 80 the first one is this
  • 00:05:05
    the silenced 80 try deck the result of
  • 00:05:09
    demand from clients who don't want a
  • 00:05:11
    yacht any longer than 80 feet but would
  • 00:05:14
    like to have more livable area on board
  • 00:05:17
    to meet this demand
  • 00:05:19
    silent yachts along with to design have
  • 00:05:21
    created a large hardtop for the yachts
  • 00:05:24
    on which to situate the solar panels so
  • 00:05:27
    that the top deck can now be far more
  • 00:05:29
    spacious 90 square meters in fact and
  • 00:05:32
    this in turn results in far more options
  • 00:05:35
    for enjoying the outside of the Arts
  • 00:05:37
    with a bar area dining and seating all
  • 00:05:40
    under the shade of the hardtop
  • 00:05:43
    and if an owner prefers to stay in the
  • 00:05:46
    air-conditioning as an increasing number
  • 00:05:48
    of your owners do the yacht is available
  • 00:05:50
    with an enclosed Sky Lounge although I
  • 00:05:54
    should add that some owners may prefer
  • 00:05:55
    to use this space as an owner's suite
  • 00:05:57
    with a private Terrace then when I spoke
  • 00:06:02
    to Michael Kohler on the phone prior to
  • 00:06:03
    filming this video he told me about the
  • 00:06:05
    new raised version of the silenced 80 as
  • 00:06:09
    the name would suggest this version
  • 00:06:10
    raises the debt level of the yachts by
  • 00:06:12
    35 centimeters the objective for this
  • 00:06:15
    was to give more head height in the
  • 00:06:17
    cabins below deck but this version has
  • 00:06:20
    also resulted in a completely flush main
  • 00:06:23
    deck without the steps to go up or down
  • 00:06:26
    this raised version will be the new
  • 00:06:28
    standard version of the AC and the 80
  • 00:06:31
    tri deck but there will also be a loft
  • 00:06:33
    version allowing the owner and his
  • 00:06:35
    guests to enter the main deck lounge
  • 00:06:37
    from aft doors as well as the port and
  • 00:06:40
    the starboard side there is also a
  • 00:06:44
    standard version with a sofa on one side
  • 00:06:49
    now a yacht broke up I can tell you that
  • 00:06:52
    for many people head height and a lack
  • 00:06:55
    of steps is not really an issue at all
  • 00:06:57
    but for other people it is the biggest
  • 00:07:01
    issue it's the deciding factor of what
  • 00:07:03
    yacht they'll choose or don't choose now
  • 00:07:07
    I said this in the previous video that I
  • 00:07:09
    firmly believe that the success of
  • 00:07:12
    silent yachts has not been due to some
  • 00:07:14
    flashy and expensive marketing campaign
  • 00:07:17
    but rather due to the fact that Michael
  • 00:07:19
    and Heike listen to what the market
  • 00:07:22
    wants and then they react to it in a
  • 00:07:25
    speedy and efficient manner
  • 00:07:33
    and what success they are having when I
  • 00:07:36
    came here to film silent yachts I was
  • 00:07:38
    really interested to see how they were
  • 00:07:40
    getting gone during the lockdown period
  • 00:07:42
    and I find out that not only have they
  • 00:07:45
    moved via 80 to this new facility for
  • 00:07:48
    fitting-out but also they told me that
  • 00:07:51
    they've sold another four units during
  • 00:07:55
    the lockdown period for yachts one is
  • 00:08:00
    another silence AC and the other three
  • 00:08:02
    is actually their most popular model
  • 00:08:04
    which is the silent sixth in fact I
  • 00:08:06
    really wanted to show you this which is
  • 00:08:09
    the plug of the holes of the silent 60
  • 00:08:12
    here in the same facility as the 18th
  • 00:08:17
    [Music]
  • 00:08:24
    as you may know production yachts are
  • 00:08:26
    built by first creating a life-sized
  • 00:08:29
    wooden model of the hull and
  • 00:08:30
    superstructure called plunks from which
  • 00:08:33
    a mold is made and then the mold is laid
  • 00:08:36
    up with glass resin composites in the
  • 00:08:39
    case of silent yachts and a vacuum for
  • 00:08:41
    strength and for lightness and then
  • 00:08:43
    these components are fitted out for
  • 00:08:45
    launch
  • 00:08:46
    and delivery actually in another one of
  • 00:08:49
    their production facilities in Thailand
  • 00:08:51
    there is a veritable production line of
  • 00:08:54
    this 60-foot model with units in various
  • 00:08:56
    stages of completion I've been involved
  • 00:09:03
    in the yachting industry for about 25
  • 00:09:05
    years now and I don't think I've ever
  • 00:09:07
    seen a relatively new brand receive so
  • 00:09:11
    many orders in such a short amount of
  • 00:09:14
    time it really is quite remarkable and
  • 00:09:17
    now silent yachts are transitioning from
  • 00:09:19
    a time when they had to show clients
  • 00:09:22
    yachts in construction to shine that
  • 00:09:25
    they can show clients yachts that have
  • 00:09:26
    already been built they've sold 25 solar
  • 00:09:31
    electric catamarans now eight are
  • 00:09:33
    currently in construction but eleven
  • 00:09:37
    have already been delivered to satisfied
  • 00:09:39
    clients who are cruising the world's
  • 00:09:41
    oceans now that is something that I
  • 00:09:43
    can't stay silent about
