"My recent voyage on Aventura Zero has shown that having zero carbon emissions on offshore passages with the Oceanvolt regeneration system is possible. A fully autonomous electrical sailing yacht based on the Oceanvolt system will soon become reality, and I am very happy that my experience will have contributed to fulfilling that challenging objective." – Jimmy Cornell, 17.12.2020
Jimmy’s fifth boat, Aventura Zero, is the prototype of the new Outremer 4Zero catamaran with zero carbon dioxide footprint at the heart of the concept. The new Outremer 4Zero prototype is based on a mixture of features taken from the Outremer 45 and 4X, but with several modifications. Many of the building features ensure that the result is a light boat, around 9 tons. The propulsion and regeneration is be provided by two electric saildrives rated at 15 kW each.
