Sun, wind and hydrogen. This is all that the watercraft Energy Observer needs to sail, with which the Frenchmen Jerome Delafosse and Victorien Erussard are going on a six-year journey around the world. Their catamaran, which is a converted racing vessel (a former winner of the Jules Verne Trophy regatta), will be powered by solar and wind power (it is belted with solar panels and wind turbines) and will also be aided by fuel cells.

Unlike most megayachts, the 108M does not hide its comfort from the public eye, as it is practically completely exposed. It is extremely open, with which the designers wanted to create a platform for a more authentic experience of the surrounding nature.
