That seems to be the thinking of Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects as it launched "the world’s first hybrid superyacht," Savannah, last Saturday. The centerpiece of a James Bond-themed launch ceremony for the new owner and the people involved in the yacht's construction over the last three years, the Savannah not only boasts a novel power plant, but is also the first superyacht to be entirely metallic painted save for the mast domes. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/feadship-savannah/35779/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </article> <article class="article-summary article-summary--None" data-article="35854"> <div class="article-top" data-article="35854"> <a class="label" href="/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/marine/"> — Marine </a> <h1 class="h2"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/lockheed-martin-sea-slice-swathboat/35854/">Lockheed Martin-designed experimental naval vessel up for sale</a></h1> <div class="clearfix"> <span class="pull-left"> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/" rel="author">Ben Coxworth</a> - January 30, 2015 </span> <a class="picture-count" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/lockheed-martin-sea-slice-swathboat/35854/pictures"> 11 Pictures </a> </div> </div> <div class="inline-item"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/lockheed-martin-sea-slice-swathboat/35854/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150813224235im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/sea-slice@2x.jpg" alt="The Sea Slice in its current home of San Diego (Photo: Yachtworld) "> </a> </div> Any millionaire can buy themselves a fancy yacht, but if you want a conversation piece ... well, it helps if it has a story behind it, and the Lockheed Martin-built Sea Slice certainly does. Launched in 1996 by the US Navy as a military support vessel, the experimental watercraft features a unique hull design that reportedly allows it to remain as stable as a conventional ship three times its size. It cost US$15 million to design and build, but you can have it now for the low, low price of just $180,000. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/lockheed-martin-sea-slice-swathboat/35854/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </article> <article class="article-summary article-summary--None" data-article="35798"> <div class="article-top" data-article="35798"> <a class="label" href="/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/marine/"> — Marine </a> <h1 class="h2"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/modular-bakyak-kayak-sled-backpack/35798/">Modular Backyak is a sled, kayak, sailboat and backpack in one</a></h1> <div class="clearfix"> <span class="pull-left"> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/author/cc-weiss/" rel="author">C.C.

Weiss/Gizmag)"> </a> </div> Most of the electric boats we saw at the Düsseldorf boat show this past weekend were small, slow cruisers designed to putter around waterways with combustion engine bans. One boat stepped well beyond that model, though. Still under development, the all-new NOX SV promises speeds up to 75 mph (120 km/h) from a highly capable 225-hp (168-kW) electric motor. The boat packs that cutting edge drivetrain into a classic mahogany hull with a D-Type-like racing fin thrown in for good measure. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/nox-sv-wooden-electric-boat/35767/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </article> <article class="article-summary article-summary--None" data-article="35772"> <div class="article-top" data-article="35772"> <a class="label" href="/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/marine/"> — Marine </a> <h1 class="h2"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/lampuga-fastest-electric-surfboard/35772/">German-built Lampuga board claimed to be "world's fastest electric surfboard" </a></h1> <div class="clearfix"> <span class="pull-left"> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150813224235/http://www.gizmag.com/author/cc-weiss/" rel="author">C.C.
