The successful Turkish builder Sirena yachts has gained a huge worldwide following in the last decade with their distinctive angular designs, plumb bows and creatively planned living spaces. The original 48 Flybridge is a large part of the company’s success.
This fall, Sirena launched their new 49 Coupe Hybrid, based on ther first 48’s hull design,with a flat-top coupe roof, wrap around salon windows end even more salon and cockpit living space.
The company has made a commitment to “eco-friendly propulsion” and developed a true hybrid system with twin 213kW E-Motion motors, a 39.1 kWh lithium battery pack and twin 180kW diesel generators.
In silent electric mode with the standard battery pack, the 48 hybrid has a range of 12 miles at 6.5 knot and a top end speed of 14 knots. This is enough range for short junkets near home. Plus the solar panel array on the coupe top will recharge the battery pack while at anchor.
The builder offers battery pack upgrades to double or triple capacity that will extend the range in silent-electric mode.
But, with the gensets running in diesel-electric mode, the 48 will have a range of 340 miles and each day when you arrive at your next anchorage the battery pack will be fuly charged so you can operate all systems in total silence al night.
An innovative addition to the Sirena line, the new 48 Coupe Hybrid not only does right by the environment it does very well for the families who choose the design for their cruising lives. Read more here
