It looks like Sunreef has launched their first hybrid catamarans. The "electric" 60ft model was presented at the Cannes 2019 boat show.
Unfortunately there is not a lot documentation available on the internet but I will keep monitoring. For sure it's not a Torqeedo system and in a video they mention 140 kw of battery power. I will keep an eye open and share as it's always interesting to find out what others are providing on the "hybrid" market.
Sunreef is a big catamaran production yard and brand from Poland - both sailing & motor catamarans. It's definitely a good sign when traditional boat manufacturers start to offer "electric/hybrid" versions in their sales & charter repertoire.
