Herley 3400 Electric Power Catamaran

- The hottest topic in boating today is electric propulsion, and right now the Herley 3400 is perhaps the most luxurious yet practical electric boat in New Zealand. We had to travel to Tauranga to take her for a spin - it was definitely worth the journey.

When you look at the roof of the boat it is very easy to see they know absolutely nothing about solar panels. But apart from that it is a nice boat. I like the idea of electric motors backed up by a small diesel generator for long cruising. And that part they did very well.
Explain the solar comment please. I also don't know anything about solar so if considering this boat, it would be good to know. Which I am, considering this boat.
@@JustinHEMI05 When solar panels are in shade they will not produce any power. If just a little part of the solar panel are in a shade it will produce very little power. And if solar panels are connected in series the whole series loose power. The fact that they put the radar dome on top of the panels show that the panels are just so they can call it solar powered. It is powered by a generator that supply the electricity. The solar panels are not doing much. But it is still a nice boat.
@@tomathuset1961 understood thank you for clarifying!
Not to mention the hand rails cutting right over the panels
The sponsor of the build wanted the roof rack for kayaks and whatnot to be put on the top. You are right about the radar tower which hangs off the back of the top in Herley's next model.
Very nice work!
Nicer and better explained that the corporate video. Thanks for the tech specs.
Wow would love to see a 26' trailerable, electric recreational Cat by these guys. Will keep watching them.
Excellent boat 👍
Very nice boat, I hope someday, I own like that
Nice one guys great sey up
Good tec
Nice. Dream boat
At this price, I would expect to be able to 'Live-aboard'. This cat is just too small. I can see it for Island hopping as long as you have a home base. I do like the Hybrid set-up; it would make me feel safer! Keep going; I think you are heading in the right direction.
What is the price for this thing?
The company SilentYachts gives you a very good layout for a cruiser/ liveaboard. This could have great uses as a sport-fisher preferred layout. Secondly, this cruiser is nearly there! The solar can be walked on if this company knows how to outfit the boat.
Compared to the Silent Yachts and their size this one seems to be a little bit overpriced, given the space and the number of double cabins,,,, No room for a big fridge or freezer is also an obstacle for long journes,,, Overall it seems to be solid boat and well engeneered for the electric propulsion and systems,,, Good work and finishing though especially at the helm and its positionning,,,
Its 1.25mil NZD prob 900k USD
880k USD
question how long to charge the battery with no draw. Love the boat and what you have accomplished. Cheers from Canada, Tom
Very nice, I guess the design was made with the intention of being more aerodynamic for more battery efficiency but they could have made a more accommodating bow.
Respect for trail blazing on a hybrid setup, but with two hours run time (on pure electrics) I’d have to question its practicality
That could definitely make ocean passages.
Add a couple more fuel tanks, windmills, and some solar panels.
hahahaha
Finally some magnetics on a boat
I hope you guys had a good America's Cup exposure!
Ya'll have to hit me up if you want a resume.
Excellent design and a job well done by Herley boat builders, a great start into electric propulsion by a NZ boat builder. However when you get into this price bracket you are coming against some very strong competition albeit that competition from my point of view would be from a sailing catamaran .. such as the Lagoon 40, NZ $899k .. the Leopard 42, NZ $1,000,000 .. Lagoon 42, NZ $1,200,000 .. 2022 Excess 12, 1,300,000 etc. Under sail there are no limitations with distance and it would have been good to see the 3400 offered with a kite option which is available on other electric catamarans.
Pfuuh very expensive. I’d rather see a double down on electric propulsion with more solar, wind generators and batteries instead of a large fuel tank. Same goes for the stove.. two diesel burners? How about 4 induction, it’s 2021.
Basically the Prius of the sea
Wish they would build a bigger one.
Please help my math.. 2x 100kW motors. = 200kW. with 60kW batteries, means you can only run at 100% power for 20 minutes? (approximately) Yes, I do understand that 100% is not normal but, let's assume 50% power, so using 100kW total between 2 engines, with a 60kW batter, maybe 40 minutes? am I saying this correctly? Please correct my thinking. I realize I am most likely wrong.
Can the generator run the engines without adding more batteries ie weight besides more fuel?
Nice boat, for the price tag of $880 thousands USD.. still more improvements needed and possibly by 500K this will be affordable
Iam just dreamin to have a very nice boat or mini yatch.
What is the price tag of this boat?
Triple the battery and front and rear bimini covered in solar and she goes off grid with occasional diesel on cloudy days
Mantaap desain brow
It’s too small but I love it doesn’t have a fly bridge
Port of call ~ Hobart Tasmania
Gostaria de ter mais detalhes do barco e também saber quanto a custos e tempo de entrega
Really nice cat. The specs seem well thought out, but in reality this boat will still nèed lots and lots of diesel OR plenty of time in marinas on hook up. Mind you, if you can afford to spend 1.2MILLION on a boat, you can afford any moring fees or fuel bills. My 40ft cat will have 12kw motors per hull, 40kWh of LiPO4 battery per hull and 3kw of solar panels per hull. I reckon if I travel at 5knots, then the cat may be self-sustaining.......only time will tell.
All with that space yet rally poor furniahing !
Price?
How much that yatch sir
Sunreef puts solar cells all over, and has a fly bridge
Leading edge propulsion? Add a mast and sails then it would be efficient.
the boat could use and extended bow so it doesn't look so much lie a back from the side view. There's where a collapsible mast and sail assembly could be located.
Either sail or electric, its a hard mix for efficient usage. The cost will be over any common budget allowance unless you have more cash to burn
Except on balmy days
ah yes, the future, but also that early adopter price tag...
Дизель на борту есть? Значит не электрический
Couple hours! That’s not enough! 1:45, diesel stove, hmmm, interesting
$1.25 million?!!!!!!
Will get really interesting when lighter, safer, cheaper solid state batteries start showing up in boats.
Imagine a 500-600 mile range on battery power alone...
Hold up. Someone check my math but according to what these specs, the boat has a range of 10,000 nautical miles? Is that right?
640L tank
.5L@9kts
18 nautical miles per litre
11,520 nautical miles.
no lol
@@ohkav you must go to that special school where everyone receives a participation trophy.
Watch the video, do the math, have a parent or guardian check your math......
Start over and figure or where you went wrong.
If your designing an electric boat, what the heck are you thinking putting a 640 gallon diesel tank on it?
640 Liters = 169 Gallons. Sun might not shine when you need it.
to charge the batteries when they go dead 30 miles out to sea. face it,full electric isnt feasible yet. maybe when the baterry tech and motor effeciancy come around a little more. until then,ya need a diesal something on the boat. just my opinion,but the solar panels will operate the house batteries pretty good,but a few chargers and a nice genny are a must
Smh
The key is in the hidrogen....por this price....one unit of PEM an tanques....high pressur pump...and lite bank of batery....an lets go....more cheap solar panels....
How ridiculous the hob is not induction.
Induction burners draw allot of voltage. These save energy can be used to move the boat.
@@JERZEECOWBOY never mind the voltage, it's the power that matters!
awful music, why have it come on at full blast?
So ugly looking come on 1,25 milion dollars for me it's worth now how it looks 500 come on really??!! check the market compare with others then make a price looks cheap, ugly and unfinish the color of interiors is from 60' nothing here to like it all smal cheap and ugly looking and really looks so unfinish
Slow, ugly, and overpriced. It doesnt know if its a fishing, cruising, or weekender.
the color is so ugly...
