Providing a great exercise for both the body and mind, these boats are ideal for adventure-seekers, family fun, competitive sports, and exploratory travellers.</p><p>Typically ranging from 15 to 50 feet, sailing boats incorporate various configurations including single or multiple masts, diverse sail plans, and living spaces that can vary from minimal amenities for day sailing to luxurious cabins and galleys designed for extended ocean cruising.</p><h2>Sailing Boats: Construction and Design</h2><p>Constructed primarily from robust and lightweight materials like fiberglass and aluminium, sailing boats are designed for stability, performance sailing, and low maintenance. The hull design is characteristic to each type of sailing boat with designs favouring speed, stability, or cargo capacity based on their purpose. Sailing boats can offer surprisingly spacious interiors for their size with a focus on maximizing comfort during longer voyages.</p><h2>Key Features of Sailing Boats</h2><p><strong>Versatility:</strong> With designs favouring either performance or cruising, sailing boats can be used for a wide range of activities from racing to relaxed coastal cruising.</p><p><strong>Sustainability:</strong> Harnessing wind power for propulsion makes sailing boats a greener and more sustainable choice.</p><p><strong>Long-range capability:</strong> Many sailing boats feature living quarters, allowing the crew to undertake longer journeys.</p><h2>Sub-Categories of Sailing Boats</h2><p><strong>Cutter:</strong> A single-masted sailing boat, lauded for its simplicity and performance.</p><p><strong>Ketch:</strong> Features two masts, providing better control in higher winds.</p><p><strong>Sloop:</strong> The most common type of sailing boat with one mast and two sails offering balance and efficiency.</p><h2>Notable Brands &amp; Models of Sailing Boats</h2><p><strong>Archambault:</strong> Famous for producing performance racing sailboats such as the Archambault A31.</p><p><strong>Beneteau:</strong> Known for the Oceanis range, favoured due to their cruising characteristics and comfort.</p><p><strong>Lagoon:</strong> Renowned in the catamaran segment, with models such as the Lagoon 50 being sought after for their space and stability.</p><p>From gently cruising along the coast to high-speed thrilling racing, sailing boats bring an unmatched level of fulfilment and excitement.

<p>STEELER YACHTS is proud to introduce the 61S Electric, the world’s first fully electric and thereby seaworthy prestige motor yacht. The triple decker ‘Flat floor Panorama Concept’ also adds the title of most spacious motor yacht in all its length.&nbsp; What more proof is needed that ultra-comfort really can go hand-in-hand with sustainability? This is a truly unparalleled combination.</p><p>The STEELER 61S Electric is a one of a kind motor yacht. Built according to our ‘single level living’ concept awarded European Powerboat of the Year. We have pulled out all the stops in accommodation, comfort and luxury, to convince even the most discerning watersports enthusiast that a water-borne villa really does exist under the 20m ship length.</p><p>Minimal ecological footprint. But let’s start with the unique drive technology of the 61S Electric. We all know that the days dominated by fossil-fuelled ships engines are coming to an end. Instead, we are seeing bio-fuels, the possibility of hydrogen and most certainly electro-motors. While such progress may not be everybody’s cup of tea, it can certainly do no harm. On the contrary. The dimensions and weights are smaller than those of combustion engines, while their power continues to reach new heights. Batteries have become lighter and stronger with greater charging capacity and therefore quicker charging times. The costs of charging batteries are now also attractive, and even free of charge in some ports (in Norway for example)!</p><p>Furthermore, an electromotor powered by a generator is considerably more efficient than a conventional diesel engine. Even during the charging period for the batteries therefore, the 61 S Electric is more economical than a traditional diesel engine.</p><p>With today’s state of technology, there is no other motor yacht with a more limited ecological footprint than the STEELER 61S Electric.</p><p>The engine space of the STEELER 61S Electric contains a state-of-the-art drive system, comprising a lithium-ion powered electromotor. The battery sets comprise 18 containers, each with 16 cells, sufficient for an action radius of 4 hours’ sailing. Out on the ocean waves, a diesel generator provides the power. The batteries are charged in two hours, so that the generator only needs to work two hours during a full 10-hour sailing day. The 61S Electric also features solar panels for a permanent and natural power supply.</p>
