JR YACHTS CLASSIC 7
Home South Coast Virtual Boat Show Exhibitors Silent Yachting
Silent Yachting is incredibly proud to have been appointed the exclusive UK agents for JR Yachts. One of the most progressive electric boat yards in the Netherlands, who have already been involved in many breakthrough moments in electric boating, working with world renowned designers and navel architects for the imminent release of of its full range of high quality electric boats.
JR Yachts was founded in 2016 by Jaap de Jonge. Jaap has a highly regarded background as a hydrodynamic engineer who spent the vast majority of his career working on design and engineering whilst overseeing operations for some very highly regarded superyacht shipyards in the Netherlands. While reviewing a new scientific hydrodynamic theory Jaap had a completely new and unique idea for developing electric boats.
Whilst the majority of other motorboat builders are simply converting standard deep -V hulls with an electric motor, JR Yachts has opted to take a completely new approach and developed a totally new type of hull to optimise the power and thrust developed by an electric drive train. This was a game changer for both performance and range as the characteristics are so different from traditional power units, with a completely new underwater hull profile now specifically developed for electrical hydrodynamic efficiency, instead of just pushing a conventional hull with an E-conversion.
Launching in summer 2022, JR Yachts looks to enhance a new direction in electric boating, tirelessly working from their HQ in the Netherlands to deliver ultimate comfort and performance all combined with a beautiful premium finish from their boats. This is achieved by using the same boat building technologies as used on high performance racing yachts and super yacht constructions, using only the highest quality vinyl ester foam sandwich vacuum infusion adding greater strength and better protection than any polyesters can, whilst also offering far greater control during vacuum infusion process to ensure an even coverage of resins and the super high gloss faultless finish this boat deserves.
