No. 1 is the name of a sailing
yacht which is power-assisted by an
electric motor that gets its
electricity from
hydrogen fuel cells. It is the first ever yacht to be fuel cell-powered.
[1] The boat was certified under the Germanischer Lloyd guidelines for fuel cells on ships and boats.
[2] [3] The yacht's debut was in August 2003 in Japan, and it is commissioned at
Lake Constance (
Kressbronn am Bodensee).
MTU Friedrichshafen, the company that designed the boat's power system, has said that it views a move towards fuel cell-based power systems as logical given the demand for clean, quiet energy sources in leisure craft such as yachts.[4]
