"Our electric-powered Sirius 40 DS has been a very exciting project that perfectly captures the spirit of the times and combines many innovations in one hull. That is why the realisation of this project has given us so much pleasure. This ship has now been delivered, commissioned and surprises in many ways with its performance, lower weight and fantastic manoeuvrability."
"Even if such an electric drive means a big step forward for every yacht in terms of sustainability and the use of renewable energies, it is certainly not equally suitable for every sailing area or customer. If you only use your boat as a daysailer, you can of course get by with a much simpler package of batteries and charging technology. However, someone who is planning a blue water trip, like the owner of our electrical Sirius 40 DS, will also want a longer range under electric propulsion, the possibility of recuperation, energy generation from solar panels and a generator as a range extender on board." – Sirius Yachts
