"I have always been fascinated about the idea of a sailboat traveling in the ocean energy self-sufficient like the satellites rounding the earth. Producing its own energy with the power of the wind, sea and sun.
With modern day electric devices on board power supply might be a challenge. Oceanvolt’s electric motor serves as a powerful hydrogenerator while sailing providing the solution for this problem.
The Li Yachts project started with my own desire to have a boat that can be used in dive expeditions with aim to reach even the remotest locations – and I wanted to do that without any fossil fuels." – Simo Nyrönen, CO-Founder at Li Yachts
