WIDER-PAJOT ECO YACHT 145
The 145 Ecoyacht will benefit from the WIDER expertise with hybrid-propulsion making it a very environmentally friendly sailing superyacht.
Hard on the heels of the 115ft ECO catamaran, Marc Pajot has consolidated the collaboration with Anconabased builder WIDER YACHTS, to create a 44-metre (145ft) catamaran, the 145 Ecoyacht. This revolutionary aluminium and carbon catamaran follows the overall design and performance objectives of the 115 which embodies a wealth of innovative design features and impressive styling. Sailing legend Marc Pajot has ensured that both yacht designs will be at the forefront of sailing performance for effortless passage making in style and comfort. At 44m the ECO 145 is an impressive and spacious sailing superyacht, with a 15.5m overall beam which incorporates twin 4.10m hulls, the internal volume and total deck space is equivalent to a much larger monohull of similar length. The living space is an impressive 260m2 and in the custom yacht spirit can be configured for individual owners requirements and has extensive entertainment areas including a swimming pool and a private owners pool, a beach club at the stern and sunbathing areas. The 145 Ecoyacht will benefit from the WIDER expertise with hybrid-propulsion making it a very environmentally friendly sai
ling superyacht. Accommodation is configured for 12 guests in 5 cabins with provision and crew cabins for a 7-8 crew contingent. The Marc Pajot DNA ensures that the ECO 145 will sail fast and efficiently making fast passages in the lightest airs while the guests enjoy the stable motion of the catamaran design. Sailing at 12 knots the 7Kw/h hydrogenerators are charging the battery systems to allow silent Co2-free motoring and peaceful overnight stays and due to the shallow draft, in the best anchorage locations. The sailing experience is without noise and drama due to the easily handled sail plan utilising a 250m2 boomless mainsail making sure that the sailing passages are relaxed and safe. Marc Pajot of WIDER-PAJOT ECO Yachts, commented, “The synergy with what I have been developing with our eco catamaran and the superyachts produced by WIDER is exceptional.” He adds, “The eco credentials are now an important factor in expectations and demands from the new eco-aware yachting customer. Adding leading edge hybrid power-train technology developed by WIDER and their specialist technical partners and suppliers, has created a unique yachting opportunity and experience». Marcello Maggi, CEO of WIDER, remarks, “We are just beginning an age of eco awareness for yachting as a whole and WIDER will be at the leading edge of this technology at all times, from hydrogen power to the dawn of new power sources such as Thermionic Converters. I am personally very
excited about our partnership with Marc Pajot, and his exceptionally talented team of naval architects and yacht designers. Together we will build some spectacular eco hybrid catamarans, setting a new benchmark on the oceans.” The new ECO 145 has a distinguished design and engineering team: Marc Pajot for the vision, sailing performance and team management, Nicolas Fauroux design engineer with many acclaimed superyachts to his name, Franck de Rivoyne and Christophe Larouse for structural and rigging, bringing a wealth of specialist catamaran experience to the ECO 145 and WIDER-SHIPYARD with their ‘Born Electric’ philosophy and shipbuilding expertise in Aluminium construction.
