Panther Series: Honest Eco Electric Yachts © McConaghy Boats

The Panther Series by McConaghy Boats—a line of eco electric yachts designed for those who seek speed, sustainability, and luxury on the water. Sail at over 20 knots and experience the thrill of performance sailing while embracing eco-friendly practices.

Lightweight and Efficient Design

The Panther Series is constructed with advanced carbon fiber, ensuring a lightweight structure that enhances performance and energy efficiency. A lighter, low-volume yacht reduces drag, allowing for improved speed and efficiency, which is essential for effective energy utilization.

The Reality of Heavier Yachts

In the sailing market, there's a lot of hype surrounding eco-friendly solutions. However, heavier yachts face significant challenges. A diesel engine provides about four times the power for a fraction of the weight compared to full electric systems. As the weight of the yacht increases, so does the energy required to propel it, along with an increase in volume. This additional weight leads to increased drag, requiring even more energy to maintain speed, creating a downward spiral of inefficiency.

To achieve optimal performance, it's essential to prioritize a lightweight design with lower volume. This approach not only reduces the need for extensive air conditioning and other energy-consuming amenities but also minimizes drag and power requirements, allowing the yacht to operate more efficiently.

Hybrid Solutions in Our Larger Yachts

For those seeking versatility, McConaghy Boats offers hybrid solutions specifically in our larger volume lightweight yachts. These yachts are designed to balance performance and sustainability, providing a practical option for those who need it without compromising on efficiency.

Totally Green Electric Drives

Our Panther Series yachts are equipped with electric drives, offering a green propulsion system. Experience the quiet efficiency of electric sailing with zero emissions and minimal environmental impact. While sailing at lower speeds (around 7 knots), the yacht can regenerate approximately 1.6 kW, and achieving much more than 2 kW at higher speeds is easily attainable through hydro regeneration. You'll generate surplus power while at anchor, even with air conditioning and other comforts. Should you need to motor for extended periods due to power consumption, a discreet backup generator ensures you can operate seamlessly.

Designed for Short-Handed Sailing

Crafted with short-handed sailors in mind, the Panther Series features a user-friendly layout that simplifies sailing and maintenance. Intuitive systems make it easy for anyone to take the helm, allowing you to focus on enjoying your time on the water.

Unmatched Features

High-Performance Sailing: Experience exhilarating speeds and agility, setting new benchmarks in the eco yacht market.

Innovative Energy Solutions: Harness both solar energy and hydro regeneration, allowing you to enjoy modern comforts while minimizing your carbon footprint.

Ease of Maintenance: Thoughtfully designed systems ensure that upkeep is straightforward, so you can spend more time enjoying the sea.

Luxury and Comfort: Every aspect of the Panther Series is crafted for your enjoyment, merging luxury with practicality.

Choose the Panther Series and embrace a new era in eco electric sailing—where fast, fun, and luxury intersect with honesty and sustainability. Elevate your adventures and sail into a realistic, greener future with confidence.
