Wind Motion is equipped with two rotating masts combined with eight 10m diameter wind turbines. The dual mast design can rotate in multiple directions, allowing the ship to operate well in light wind conditions, while the wind turbines act as chargers, providing energy to the boat's battery system.

“In optimal conditions with an endless supply of food and water, you can stay at sea as long as you want, because the ship is 100% self-sufficient in energy,” Ruhl said.
Wind Motion is one of the latest “green yacht” models that could appear on the market in the near future, but a specific launch date has not yet been announced.
