Archipelago 80 Catamaran
British shipyard Archipelago Yachts has unveiled its biggest yacht yet, Arichipelgo 80. The Archipelago 80 measures 79 feet and is built on a Chartwell Marine multihull, a design that offers more stability than a traditional monohull. Power comes from a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system that can push the 80 to 30 knots; an optional generator can add another 180kW of electrical power. An open-plan main deck houses a bar, day galley, and large windows for spectacular views. Accommodations for 12, crew quarters, and a wheelhouse that can be converted into an entertainment space made the 80 a versatile vessel. A built-in crane can lift ISO containers or a personal sub, and the rooftop doubles as a helipad for ship-to-shore transportation or lined with solar panels.
