Now, YSA Design has unveiled a wind powered catamaran cruise ship, Seabreeze, that might have 100 cabins and carry as much as 200 friends.
The ship can be over 300 toes lengthy and have twin hulls. Because the ship’s draft would solely be 12 toes, it could be capable to entry shallow waters the place bigger ships couldn’t go to.
