Unveils initial electric dinghy: Williams
🎺 NO-HOLD-BARS NEWS FLASH 🎺
Top Tales of the Sea! 🌊
Get a load of this bucko! Williams Jet Tenders has unleashed its first battery-powered beauty, the EvoJet 70E. It's the electric evolution of the popular EvoJet 70! ✨🚀
Now, you're probably thinking this is just another pretty face, but lemme tell ya, it ain't! This baby features a state-of-the-art control system from the U.S. firm Evoa and a home-grown British electric motor to pop its wheels! 💪💼🇬🇧
But don't get all giddy just yet; Matt Hornsby, the company director, says it's just a tech demonstrator, not a ready-made model to sell. This is more like a toe-dip into the world of clean boating! 🐾💦
What's that mean for ya, you ask? That means "juicing up" the battery from 20% to 80% takes only 29 steamy minutes! What does that mean for operation? Approx. 56 minutes of thrilling action - 38 magical minutes at 8 knots, 15 enjoyable minutes at lightning-quick 22 knots, and a wild three-minute blitz at the top speed of 35 knots! 🏎️🌊
The control system is as smooth as jam on toast, working magic on Garmin MFDs. 📱🚣♂️
Dimensions-wise, it's the same as its fossil-fueled sibling, boasting a 7.1m length and a generous 2.65m width. It can seat up to 13 happy campers and comes with a folding T-Top. At 2.2 tonnes, it's almost as light as a feather, with a full fuel tank, as the 250hp Yanmar-powered EvoJet. 💪⛵️
Aiming at big league customers, Williams is ready to chat electric tenders with superyacht designers, builders, owners' reps, and captains. If they're game to install the fast-charging infrastructure, Williams will roll out the red carpet for 'em! 🏪
