Wind Motion, the yacht of the future capable of being completely self-sufficient in energy, has revealed its first concept images.ArchitectureYesterday's news reported that the project, developed by French designer Mathis Ruhl, is estimated to be worth up to $114 million.
The ship is roughly the size of a football field, measuring 70 meters in length. It features a swimming pool, sun deck, and modern spa facilities. The yacht can carry 26 people (including 14 crew members and 12 passengers) and can travel at a speed of 37 km/h.

Wind Motion is equipped with two rotating masts combined with eight 10-meter-diameter wind turbines. The dual mast design, which can rotate in multiple directions, allows the vessel to operate effectively in light winds, while the wind turbines act as chargers, supplying power to the boat's battery system.

"Under optimal conditions with an unlimited supply of food and water, you can stay at sea for as long as you want, because the ship is 100% self-sufficient in energy," Ruhl said.
Wind Motion is one of the newest "green yacht" models that may appear on the market in the near future, however, the specific launch date has not yet been announced.
