TruSolar40
40’ solar vessel platform for multiple markets and uses.
The TruSolar40 catamaran has a max speed of 16 knots and can run continuously 24/7 at a most economical speed. TruSolar40 has minimum drag and produces a minimum wake—one of the many factors that separate our vessels from traditional planing and semi-planing single-hull vessels. This design allows more room for passengers while maintaining speed and efficiency, in a bold, sleek design while providing a silent and clean new boating experience.
