The new Greenline 40 Hybrid is a cruiser’s boat. It’s user-friendly, easily handled by two people, but not too big to be overwhelming. And it has a state-of-the-art hybrid power system, delivering 22-knot speeds under twin Volvo diesel power, while also providing silent running at 11 knots under solar-electric power.
The two staterooms and one head make it large enough to hold a family, or another couple, on an extended cruise, and its bridge clearance of just 12’ 2 inches are meant to slide under those structures on the Great Loop or the Intracoastal Waterway in the Southeast.
Greenline started making electric-powered boats back in 2008; it was a pioneer in what is now a rapidly growing field. The Slovenian builder now has a fleet ranging from 33 to 68 feet. The 40 Hybrid is on display at the Miami show.
The 40 has an array of solar panels on the coachroof. You can see how the hybrid system works in the video below. But the solar array and batteries essentially make the 40 a mobile power station, providing a constant supply of AC power on board.
The boat has twin 50kW electric motors producing the 11-knot top speed under electric power alone. The boat is quiet at that speed; the only noise is a slight hum. Under electric power it has a range of 30 nm, enough to explore one anchorage and move on to the next one; an optional extender increases that to 75 nm at 5 knots.
The Greenline 40 Hybrid is an efficient boat, with a light, semi-displacement hull designed to produce less drag and easy boat handling in various sea conditions. It comes with a standard bow thruster to help with docking.
Below, the two beds in the master stateroom in the bow can be pushed together, while there are two separate beds in the guest stateroom a bit aft on the port side.
