Yannasi hi … thanks for your comment. We have just equipped the latest HopYacht with a mast lowering system and this will be at the La Rochelle boat show in France. With twin electric motors you are able to turn the boat on its own axis and so it’s very easy to manoeuvre without the need for bow thrusters. While the boat is primarily designed for couples, the saloon seating converts to a single berth and the new cockpit seat design also converts to a very spacious day bed. However with the awnings enclosing the entire cockpit this too can be an extra berth. This seating area accommodates 4 people around the table. One of the disadvantages of a HopYacht is it seems to attract visitors! We have often entertain 6 or more people. The side decks / bulwarks are a comfy place to perch with drink in hand!

For a dinghy you have a couple of options. There is a huge amount of room in each hull, so a dinghy could be partially deflated and stowed. On a couple of boats delivered, the owners have requested we fit a cigarette lighter type plug externally so they can plug in an inflation pump. Alternatively, a small inflatable can be stowed vertically on its side between the two aft steps. Simply position the dinghy across the stern and use the topping lift to hoist up into position. There are two eyes on the transom to the. Secure the dinghy in place. The forward trampoline is also an area for quick and easy stowage … partially deflated and folded.

Under motor 6.8 knots and under sail we have achieved 7.1 knots momentarily. However, the HopYacht concept is to get their at a nice steady pace, happy in the knowledge that no fossil fuels being burnt! Motor sailing with electric motors is a joy, with no noise and no fumes. We often sail with the a very low throttle setting in the motors adding 300-400watts of power on each motor. This keeps the props spinning to eliminate drag and creates a positive amount of thrust to help push the boat through an awkward sea state or adverse current. Bit like e-biking!

Thank you Rob ... Love your ideas. The current Hopyacht in production has a reversible cockpit seat and fold down bulwarks to increase the floor area of the aft section of the cockpit. We designed the boat based on our own experience chartering yachts mainly in the Mediterranean, hence the external galley unit. For colder climates however your thoughts of moving the galley into the saloon are very valid and we need to look at that. The boat is not currently rated for blue water sailing (CE certification category C) however our sailmaker at North is determined to enter the Cape to Rio Race in a Hopyacht!

Also HopYacht 30 is built in accordance with CE Category C, which means it's good-to-go in a 2m sea state with 27 knots of wind. This information was provided to us by one of the HopYacht co-owners. It would be nice if this information was more front-and-center in their advertising, since I see the above comment frequently on their videos.
