Crossing completed

On December 12^th, Silent 62 “100%” has reached Antigua.

Thanks for following along. Stay with us for what comes next.

The journey across the Atlantic is now complete. Over 3,800 miles, the Silent 62 100% was tested in real ocean conditions, mile after mile, with the support and curiosity of a growing community following along. This crossing was not only about reaching Antigua, but about observing long-range solar-electric cruising as it unfolds in real conditions, day after day.

In the time ahead, we’ll continue to share the details, insights and perspectives that emerged along the way, because the most interesting part of the journey is what it continues to reveal.

The Silent 62 3-Deck “100%” has left Gibraltar and is now sailing towards Antigua.

This crossing shows how solar energy production and electric propulsion perform in open-ocean conditions.

Meet the Crew

Jay Dollries, owner of the Silent 62 3-Deck 100%, is fulfilling a lifelong dream by taking his boat across the Atlantic. He is joined by his friend Randy Lane, also eager to experience a voyage they have talked about for years.

Also on board is Will Mitchell, captain of “100%”, preparing for his first transatlantic passage, and Michael Scherdel, mechanical engineer and expert in kite systems. Leading the navigation is Steve Bell, Chairman of Silent Yachts, now undertaking his third Atlantic crossing and his first aboard a Silent yacht.

QUESTION & ANSWERS

JOIN THE CONVERSATION ACROSS THE OCEAN

What is your route and timeline?

(From Stefan in Dusseldorf)

Thanks, Stefan, we are heading to Lanzarote to arrive tomorrow (17th Nov), then south towards Cape Verde before picking up a westerly track towards Antigua. We should arrive in Antigua in mid-December.

How much will you use the generator?

(From: Dean in Florida)

It depends on many factors, including our speed, solar gain, ocean currents and the use of the kite. We have 2700 litres on diesel onboard but our plan is to arrive in Antigua with as much as possible in our tanks.

We are currently running at 5 knots with 10 hours on batteries and 3 hours of generator use. This should reduce with the trade winds and kite in operation. Keep following us for more information.

About the Silent 62

The Smart Technology behind solar powered cruising

Those of you who already know us are quite familiar with the idea of a yacht powered by sunlight: silent, emission-free, and completely self-sufficient. But how does it actually work? What makes a Silent yacht able to travel the oceans without noise, fumes or vibrations?

Behind all this lies a smart and reliable technology based on a simple idea, that of true independence.
At the technological heart of every Silent yacht there are four key components that make solar-electric propulsion possible…
