Please Note: The Solar Navigator concept has undergone continuous design, development and testing since 1995.   Each new season has seen findings incorporate in the design  and other improvements into an updated test bed model for evaluation purposes.  Every effort is made to accurately reflect the latest amendments on this site.   Accordingly, the specification of the final vessel is subject to change without notice - but is not the vessel shown on this page.
