Solar powered boats may provide clean and green sail, but slow speed makes them unpopular among speedboat enthusiasts. Conceived by designer Tony Grainger, the Velocity 7 is a catamaran with a difference that provides better cruising speed in comparison to other solar boats available in the market. Using the hull from the sailing cat, the power catamaran accommodates up to 6 people to take them out for a picnic or a camping cruise. Generating the energy from the solar panels, the 7m catamaran sails at 4-5 knots without using much power, thanks to the Torqeedo engine.
