Naviguer sans voiles.

New Zealand1 boat listed

Earthling est le projet de l’ingénieur néo-zélandais John McGettigan : un power catamaran série-hybride de 12 mètres conçu pour prouver que la croisière au long cours à faible impact est possible sans compromis. L’E-40 associe deux moteurs électriques de 50 kW, un toit solaire, 44 kWh de batteries et des générateurs-chargeurs DC compacts pour les longues traversées. Après ses essais en Nouvelle-Zélande, l’E-40 navigue désormais activement en Europe.

WHY EARTHLING

What Makes Us Different

Serial Hybrid Architecture

Propulsion is always electric; the diesel generators charge the batteries rather than driving the shafts directly. This means the ride character remains silent and smooth regardless of whether the generators are running.

Fine-Hull Efficiency

Based on Alan Carwardine's Stealth 36 powercat hull form, the E-40's slender hulls minimise drag and enable efficient cruising at 8–10 knots on modest power — the same principle that makes sailing catamarans fast.

Rooftop Solar Integration

A flexible 4 kW solar array mounted on the coach roof continuously replenishes the battery bank underway, extending all-electric range and reducing generator runtime in sunny conditions.
