A Solar-Powered Yacht Lights Up the Singapore Show

Almost 90 yachts and other water vessels are on display at the Singapore Yacht Show this weekend, which is hoping to attract more than 16,000 people — from experienced yacht buyers to those still striving. The show runs through the weekend, accompanied (of course) by a supercar parade of Ferrari and Lamborghini owners. Rolls Royce will display three models of the Cullinan, a $325,000 SUV.

Two of the show’s standouts: A 54-foot solar-powered catamaran called Silent 55 and the 193-foot Seawolf, built in 1955 and most recently updated in 2009.
