LYMAN-MORSE TO BUILD ALL-ELECTRIC HYDROFOILING NAVIER 27
Just as electric vehicles are having a moment, so are eco-friendly, electric boats. Enter the Navier 27, an all-electric, hydrofoil, performance craft outfitted with a highly advanced autopilot. Navier co-founders Sampriti Bhattacharyya and Reo Baird signed with Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding in Thomaston, Maine, to build the pre-production vessels and first year limited production vessels for the 2023 slots for the Navier 27. The Lyman-Morse built Navier 27 will be revealed at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in October 2022; first-year customer delivery will be in Q2 2023.
Navier is a Silicon Valley startup that’s building technology to increase the efficiency of small powerboats by 90% while ensuring zero emissions and superior ride performance. Navier is producing a limited number of boats in its first year under its Pioneer Program. As the startup focuses on technology development for Navier 27, they wished to partner with an innovative and capable yard. Lyman-Morse is one of the few boatyards in the United States that has experience working with high-tech, carbon composite boats. As a bonus, the shipyard’s location is an up-and-coming tech hub with a strong boat-building heritage; Maine is a strategic and ideal setting for Navier’s project.
