Unprecedented innovation: The MODX 70 catamaran

Designed by the French shipyard Ocean Developpement, the MODX 70 goes far beyond conventional innovation by totally eliminating the use of fossil fuels. The revolutionary automated rig consists of two carbon masts supporting two inflatable wings of 125 m" each, making it 1.7 times more efficient than a conventional rig. Easily reaching speeds of 10 knots, the MODX 70 features an efficient hydrogeneration system thanks to variable-pitch propellers, generating 3 to 15 kWp depending on the vessel's speed. The MODX 70 is also equipped with 70m2 of latest-generation solar panels, producing 15 kWp. An exceptional energy mix that allows the MODX 70 catamaran to sail in total autonomy and 100% renewable energies.
