THE SHIP DESIGN
Here is our cargo boat based on our super-efficient Secret 33 solar-electric ferry. The secrets were designed from the outset as sailing boats, during construction a skeg keel is fitted to the power boats and a deeper, ballasted keel is fitted to the sailing versions.
This Secret is called the EX — for expedition — and a special ocean research version is available or it may be customised for any application — cargo, tourism, tourism or simply fun. The research version is zero emission and self-sufficient for a crew of up to 5.
Fast, versatile, and with ultra-low maintenance, the Secret 33 EX will fit in a 40-foot flat-rack container, so may be deployed virtually anywhere in the world.
A number of special features have been developed for multi-purpose use. A solar canopy with fold-out “wings” forms a convenient all-weather roof and increases the solar input to 2.1 kW. Detachable sheerlegs can be quickly fitted under the side stay “channels” for level hard-standing, to name but two.
Various rig options are available including gaff or lugsail yawl. The yawl being simpler and better suited to single-handed operation.
The cargo area/cockpit is 3.4 metres long and can take 3 pallets, 12 passengers or general cargo.
Ideal for Pacific or Caribbean islands, the Secret 33 EX is in production now and available for tourism, trading and marine research. The boat will be as green as we can possibly make it and allows totally independent economically advantageous operation.
The Secret 33 EX is custom fitted with any special requirements incorporated, alternatively basic sailaway boats are available now for owners to complete and fit out.
