Hybrid sailing yacht projects
To demonstrate the hybrid system concept by STOK Electric, sailing yacht Elysium serves as a wonderful project to start with. We will showcase here more projects to come. Visit our site regularly for updates.
STOK Electric’s first project is sailing yacht Elysium. Elysium is designed by Hoek Design Naval Architects and build by Holland Jachtbouw
and is a 56ft Truly Classic Hoek Design. Elysium is under refit by Hutting Yachts in Makkum with a hybrid system designed by STOK Electric.
The main diesel engine is replaced by a 70kW electric motor. The
electric motor is powered by a battery bank and there is a 30kW generator that
can assist as a backup. Other ways to charge the battery bank is by shore power, solar
energy and hydro energy.
The installation is planned to be completed in the
summer of 2022. From that moment on, the system will be fine-tuned and
hopefully by the end of the summer it will be ready for the owners to travel further around
the world.
