Multistory Solar Vessels

The Wind Rose Yacht Provides an Eco-Friendly Oceanic Escape

— July 24, 2011 — Autos
Solar-powered boats are nothing new, but I have yet to see a sun-fueled boat as lavish or large as the Wind Rose Yacht. The Wind Rose Yacht was conceived by Kaish B Davierwalla, Alessandro Bettoncelli, Gabriele Teruzzi and Gianluca Giordano for Filipetti Yachts.

The Wind Rose Yacht has solar panels mounted onto its roof that supply the boat with its power. The interior of this concept craft is luxurious and modern, with floor-to-ceiling windows adorning the bedrooms and futuristic furniture filling the living room. The size of this boat is massive, and if it is to be powered solely by the sun, it probably won't be able to move very fast. Still, you don't board a yacht to race other boats, and the floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedrooms should more than make up for the Wind Rose Yacht's lack of speed.
Trend Themes
1. Solar-powered Luxury Boats - The Wind Rose Yacht is a prime example of how solar power can be used in the luxury boat industry.
2. Sustainable Yacht Design - The Wind Rose Yacht demonstrates a growing trend towards environmentally conscious boat design.
3. Alternative Energy in Boating - As more solar-powered boats like the Wind Rose Yacht emerge, the use of alternative energy sources in the boating industry is likely to increase.
Industry Implications
1. Luxury Yacht Manufacturing - Luxury yacht manufacturers can incorporate solar power into their designs to create more eco-friendly vessels.
2. Sustainable Tourism - Boats like the Wind Rose Yacht offer opportunities for sustainable tourism in coastal areas.
3. Solar Technology - As solar technology advances, it presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the boating industry to adopt more sustainable energy sources.
