Pi Superyachts presents a new concept of trimaran. The Dragonship 25 is 25 m long. It is based on the nautical qualities of the trimaran which are speed, stability and habitability. Thus with its 25 m length, the boat will offer more than 540 m2 of living space. The surface being distributed between 3 decks. One will note the immense flybridge which will even be able to accommodate a Jacuzzi. Enough to accommodate 10 guests and the 8 crew members without any worries.
Built with aluminium hulls, this boat will be offered in 3 versions:
- Engine
- Classic Sailing
- Eco-Lux
In its engine version, the Dragonship 25 will be powered by 2 x 600 hp diesel. Solar panels on the rigid bimini will help maintain power consumption at anchor.
The classic version will be equipped with a 32 m aluminium mast with a mainsail and a jib. The engines will be 2 x 200 hp diesel engines. This version should attract sailing enthusiasts.
But the most surprising will be the Eco-Lux version. In this case the trimaran will be equipped with two electric motors which will be transformed into generators during sailing. This lithium battery recharging system will be completed by solar panels and 4 small 25 kW generators. With the 1500 liters of fuel in the tank, this installation should offer more than 20,000 miles of autonomy to this boat!
On this version the self-supporting carbon mast will accommodate a thick wing-shaped sail reminiscent of the one used on America's Cup yachts. But it will not be a rigid wing, but a wing that can be lowered.
Designed by Flt Lt Jack Manners-Spencer, the Autosail soft wing is shaped like an airplane wing, without any standing or running rigging. A solution that is less noisy and requires less maintenance. The sail is supported by a self-supporting carbon fibre mast with a boom that can rotate 360°. It is operated by electric motors connected to a sail steering system. The sail itself is hoisted and lowered with forced battens that slide up and down the mast. A system that performs better than standard sails in most conditions and wind angles.
