A first-of-its-kind research boat is under construction for the University of Vermont. A 64-foot aluminum catamaran, the hybrid-electric vessel will be a floating classroom and laboratory and model of seaworthy sustainability. With two AC electric motors, backed up by two 306-horse-power diesel engines, the vessel will be able to run on all-electric power for trips under two hours. This will provide a low-emissions boat with few vibrations nearly silent for students and researchers, and less intrusive for studying fish and other wildlife on the lake. The boat also has an advanced new catamaran hull form that has been optimized to minimize resistance at low speeds, accommodate battery storage, and ensure stability even in rough weather.
