Bear Mountain 30 Hybrid Electric Launch
Bear Mountainšs most recent project is a 30' hybrid electric/diesel/solar fantail
launch.
Visually reminiscent of the fantail steam launches used in our area a
hundred years ago, it brings to mind an era when taking a journey was
as enjoyable as arriving at the destination.
This low impact, eco friendly cruiser will accommodate a couple in simple
yet luxurious comfort and safety during an inland voyage of several weeks.
The easily accessible aft lounge provides seating for 6-8 guests on day
trips to picnic, bird watch or fish.
To meet our objective of consuming the least possible amount of fusel
fuel, Canadian yacht designer Steve Killing has created a hull shape that
is optimized for low speed cruising.
Jonathan Killing has designed the hybrid electric/diesel/solar propulsion
system. It will provide multiple power options in an efficient, integrated
system to drive the boat with an electric motor directly connected to
the drive shaft.
