ARC 2000

We are now building the first of these modern yachts. There are several different sizes of Arc 2000 yachts and when you consider the options of engines and propulsion. You can see how every owner can customize his yacht.

Both propeller and water jet drive can be adapted to five different engines - offering speeds from 15 to 50 knots. Energy Recovery systems can be added, also a Retractable Marina with several configurations, as well as retractable panels on the Main Deck offer the possibility for an open or covered aft deck area, all add to the incredible versatility of these yatchs.

The usable space on ARC 2000 yachts is double that on a conventional yacht of similar size. This offers larger staterooms, more recreational living areas, large garages to hold very large amounts of water sports equipment - even a four-wheel drive vehicle and other land based entertainment equipment.

The wide bodied twin hull gives this mega yacht incredible versatility and flexibility, with good wave piercing qualities and above all great strength, safety and sea worthiness. The ARC 2000 yachts have not just been designed to look different, their shape and style is a direct result of carefully integrated functionality and behavior. This new breed of yachts is the first to capture energy from the environment - the Sun, the Wind, and the Ocean, and to convert it to usable 100% pollution free energy for onboard use as well as for propulsion.

The New Millenium will bring many changes to the way we live, enjoy ourselves and work. This will encourage people to change many of the basic concepts we accept now, as they will not fit into tomorrows world.

There is already a greater awareness of the Sea and a movement to protect the environment; this will have a major influence on the yachting industry. The impact that the ARC 2000 yachts will have, is not only because they are designed for a way of life that many yacht owners, are now seeking, it is also because they embrace exciting new technologies, making them the fore runner in the new ECO yachts of the future.

SKG-Yachts has been appointed Worldwide marketing agents for the sale of ARC 2000 yachts, and to assist in the development of their use as other vessels, such as: Passenger Ferries, Casino Ships, Research Vessels, Cruise and Residential Ships.

The construction time for an ARC 2000 yacht, with normal outfitting is about 14 months. About 4 months are needed to incorporate client's design and furnishing requirements. The exact costs and delivery times will be finalized during the time of purchase and contract negotiations.

Energy recovery systems

The Solar Energy recovery system consists of modular Solar Photovoltic units, these are water proof and have a clear epoxy top layer that enables them to be walked on.

The Wind Vortex recovery system incorporates modular units with few moving parts, designed for a long life and easy servicing. Power generation even at anchor, this will increase while cruising depending on the wind speed.

The length of time and speed the yacht will cruise, will depend on the stored power. With Motion / Kinetic and Hydrogen production & propulsion being developed, the days of fossil fuel is limited. These integrated Recovery Systems combined with advanced Power Storage capabilities will propel ARC 2000 yachts between 5 to 10 knots WITHOUT ANY FUEL CONSUMPTION

The combination of propulsion drive propeller or water jet and the choice of type of engines will determine the maximum speed.

ARC 2000 CRUISE	25 knots	(D / E / DE)
ARC 2000 SUPREME	30 knots	(D / E / DE)
ARC 2000 EXTREME	40 knots	(D / GT)
ARC 2000 RAM	45 knots	(GT)
ARC 2000 BULLET	+50 knots	(GT)

Diesel (D) - Electric (E) - Diesel Electric (DE) - Gas Turbine (GT)

The ARC 2000 series is now available in 16m, 20m and 26m lengths.
