Erik Sifrer’s latest Green Jet Project is a breathtaking sailing yacht with a unique philosophy, which combines green power and the latest in modern technology. The name represents the high value of owning private jet and nautical enthusiasm, using only the endless power of wind to travel distance.

For main propulsion of the Green Jet yacht project there are two fully automated Aero sails guided by hydraulic motors. Rigging is composed of forward shaped sliding edge and two side bended 62m high masts. Rigging works as a giant triangle sculpture while sails are rolled into the boom.

Deck-scape is clean, open and passable, composing two separate areas – each cowered with elegant wave shaped roof with circular sky windows. Main attraction of deck is center positioned gyroscopic pool (Spa Pool), which also works as separation of crew and owner. Forward area of the new Green Jet sailing yacht project is for crew; aft area is for owner and guests only. Pool also represents the connection between air and water outside and fountain sculpture inside. Skylight deck windows are added in shape of ornament around the pool which extends down to the main salon. Aft deck-scape area is also reserved for garage. Approach to design appearance is the similar as with motor yacht. It can be navigated and controlled by computerized jet sail system and it can work as private jet or charter while joining business and pleasure.
