Ocean Independence reveals 107.35m DynaRig sailing yacht concept Project Sonata

Ocean Independence has revealed a 107.35 metre DynaRig sailing yacht concept named Project Sonata.

Advertised with a build time of 38 months, Project Sonata was designed by Valentin Design, which was briefed to “create a buildable, eco-friendly superyacht of tomorrow” in collaboration with German shipyard Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven.

Built from a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, Project Sonata will be powered by twin 1100kW electric engines for a top speed of 17 knots and cruising speed of 15 knots.

Project Sonata boasts “strong, confident lines” which “merge with sleek surface transitions,” the broker said, resulting in “a truly unique design”.

Elsewhere, the yacht features battery packs capable of powering the hotel service for 12 hours without the need for generators and a retractable keel for a reduced draft. Further energy can be recovered through the propellers while sailing.

Accommodation on board is for a total of 12 guests in six staterooms and a staff of 31 crew.
