MiB Yacht Services is launching the first Azur Evasion event in Hyères on June 28 and 29:
Sailing and driving electric
Aware of the contemporary challenges of sustainable mobility, and wishing to associate the world of boating and automobiles around a common Electric event for greater attractiveness, we will bring together on the quays of the port of Hyères the Eden brand, the 100% electric Mehari and the brand new catamaran brand Millikan Boats!
This will be the first public presentation of Millikan Boats’ M9 model, a 100% French electro-solar catamaran in the sub-10m range.
The M9, a new navigation experience
Millikan Boats, a French company founded in 2022 by Philippe Raynaud, designed its first model, the M9, with the help of Vincent Lebailly Yacht Design. Measuring 9.5 m long and 3.4 m wide, it is manufactured in Saint-Malo. Despite its Breton origins, this catamaran has a very Mediterranean feel to it, with its large cockpit sheltered under its vast hard-top, its plancha and its 2 cabins.
But its real distinction lies in its concept: this is a 100% electric boat, thanks to its huge solar panels with a combined power of over 5 kW, combined with a 2 x 15 kW BlueNav propulsion system: the M9 is claimed to have a top speed of 12 knots, but above all an almost unlimited range at 6 knots.
For this Azur Evasion event, an Eden will also be on display at the port, ready to be recharged by the M9. It will be available for test drives, and you’ll be surprised by the driving pleasure offered by this electric version of the legendary Mehari of yesteryear.
Closely linked in terms of the environment and unique driving pleasure, whether for sailing or driving, the 100% electric experience allows you to explore new horizons in complete freedom.
