Greenline Ocean Class 70: Marking a new era in extended world cruising
13.6. 2011 |

| The Superdisplacement™ hull has been applied to large scale: after the immensely successful Greenline Hybrid 33, and the presentation of the Greenline 40 concept earlier this year in Dusseldorf Germany, the first transoceanic Greenline hybrid takes form as Greenline Ocean Class 70.
The range will grow with the addition of a smaller sister of 55 feet is already on the drawing board and is expected to be launched for the 2012/13 season. While the new yacht was developed, we were able to profit of all the tank- testing, hybrid/solar technology research conducted for the creation of the Greenline 33. It became clear that with her Superdisplacement™ hull, hybrid capacity, solar T top and unmatched comfort the 70 is a pure-bred Greenline Hybrid. However, with her size, flybridge concept and the transatlantic capacity we called her Ocean Class 70, of the Greenline Hybrid family.
The Ocean Class 70 continues with the philosophy of her smaller sisters, but takes comfort and range to a new level. With her seaworthy stabilised Superdisplacement™ hull allowing for a transoceanic range, coupled to solar and hybrid technology, this particular vessel is about to have a huge impact on the boating community in the years to come, increasing the comfort and decreasing the cost of boating in a significant way – while drastically reducing the carbon emission footprint of a boating family.
The first Ocean Class Hybrid will be available in Spring 2012. With a 3 kW solar array on the hard-top, 80 kWh of energy stored in Lithium batteries and a twin hybrid propulsion system rated at 120 kW, the Ocean Class 70 Hybrid will be able to cruise in perfect silence and without stressing the environment, while delivering a range of 20 nautical miles in absolute silence and completely emission-free. Initial tests in the North Adriatic have shown that the Greenline Ocean Class consumption predictions were very accurate from the tank testing phase on: with twice 800 HP MAN engines consumes a mere 25 litres per engine per hour at 10,5 knots of speed.
Another important factor in transoceanic voyaging is also the stability: the twin Trac stabilisers have performed flawlessly and kept the boat level at all times, even in full-speed turns. Under full speed, the salon/kitchen area has a very acceptable sound level of 75 dBa.
