Oceanvolt ServoProps

The  Maverick 440 Hybrid comes standard with 2 x award-winning Oceanvolt ServoProps. 

The Oceanvolt ServoProps offer the best hydro-regeneration capability for any system in this class in the world today.

The reason for the superior hydro-regeneration capability is due to the feathering propellers. 

Feathering props allow for the prop angle to rotate 180 degrees and effectively be facing forward when in Hydro-regeneration mode, this provides for maximum hydrogen regeneration capabilities that are much higher than a traditional prop rotating 'back-wards'.

Software controls the prop angle to maximize the charge to the battery bank taking into account the boat speed while sailing.

This is a game-changer as the feasibility of meaningful hydro-regeneration at lower boat speeds  creates opportunities for autonomous world cruising without reliance on fossil fuels.

With your sails and hydro-regeneration, you can conquer the globe.

The Maverick 440 Hybrid is an electric sail drive sailing catamaran. The electric engines are powered by lithium-iron phosphate batteries. The batteries are charged through a number of sources, namely; solar power, wind generators (optional), hydro-regeneration while sailing, shore power, and diesel generator(s).

Our electric powertrain with multiple charging options and GenSet backup, with large diesel tanks, make for the best range of any electric 44ft production cruising catamaran in the world.

Electric Engines are 15kW Oceanvolt ServoProps.

Maverick 440 Hybrid - 3 Cabin

This has 2 x GenSet in the aft engine lockers, with access from the outside of the yacht.

Maverick 440 Hybrid - 3 Cabin

The 3-Cabin Hybrid comes with 2 x 11kW DC 48V GenSets. 

The GenSets are both mounted in the engine bays.

Two GenSets give the ability to motor on back-up diesel if required. Given the biggest in class long-range fuel tanks of the Maverick 440, this provides peace of mind.

Maverick 440 Hybrid - 4 Cabin layout

The 4-Cabin Hybrid comes with a 15kW DC 48V GenSet.

Maverick 440 Hybrid - 4 cabin

The Maverick catamaran's hull design allows it to track beautifully on one engine alone. With a powerful backup 15kW GenSet this provides an incredible range possible with long-range diesel fuel tanks. 

The GenSet is powerful enough to drive both electric motors at a lower rev range. 

Both motors are required for maneuvers such as anchoring and mooring, as these activites can be done in full-electric mode through power from the battery bank.

Testimonial

Genko Ganev 

San Diego, California

"As a professional mechanical engineer, I am very particular about any construction process I am involved in, the quality of the materials and components used, all key ingredients for a high-quality product. Building a “live aboard” catamaran is twice more difficult than building a house in California. Our search for the right boat builder and the right live aboard custom-built catamaran took us over a year and I can confidently say: “We found the right one – Maverick Yachts in Cape Town, South Africa”. After two meetings with Rudi Pretorius at Maverick Yachts, we signed a contract, I quit my day job and relocated to Cape Town for six months while our catamaran was built. True custom-built catamaran, well thought out and build strong. As people say – “They don’t build them like that anymore”. We are extremely happy with our choice and the entire experience was better than expected."

Oceanvolt Saildrive with ServoProps 

The Maverick 440 Hybrid is fitted as standard with

2 x 15kW Oceanvolt ServoProps.

This is the most light-weight and compact 15kW electric sail drive solution on the market today. The blue area is the electric motor and replaces the traditional 40hp diesel engine. This saves space and weight and provides more power & torque. Additional weight is added back to the yacht in the form of a strong Lithium-iron phosphate battery bank. The position of these batteries is more forward on the yacht leading to better weight distribution and trim angles.

On the 3-cabin version, 2 x GenSet's are placed in the engine bays which are lighter, more compact, and more silent than the traditional diesel engines also allowing for extra storage space.

On the 4-cabin version, one larger GenSet is located near the mast that allows for additional storage in the engine bay lockers aft.

Lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4)  batteries 

The Maverick 440 Hybrid comes standard with a total of 42kW lithium-iron phosphate MAIN battery bank.

- other size battery banks can be considered & installed upon request -

For redundancy and weight balancing reasons, this battery bank is split into 2 x 21kW 48 V battery banks.

Lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4)  batteries have many advantages  in a marine environment, including; 

The chemistry offers a longer cycle life than other lithium-ion approaches.

LiFePO4 batteries have a slower rate of capacity loss which means they retain their charge for longer.

They  have a very constant discharge voltage which allows the cell to deliver virtually full power throughout the discharge.

The use of phosphates is more environmentally friendly to source & recycle than some alternatives. 

LiFePO 4  batteries have good thermal & chemical stability which improves battery safety.

Easy to read Display

The Ocean Volts HMI (Human Machine Interface) is designed to be easy to use in all weather conditions.

During the day the bright & clear display provides the Captain with the essential information at the helm relating to the electric motors and battery systems.

In the night mode, the display is in red in order to preserve your night vision and be more relaxing on the eyes over extended periods.

Internally a more detailed display at the chart table provides a complete overview of battery monitoring systems as provided by Victron Energy. This includes information relating to the consumption of power by the electric engines, house systems, and also charge rates from all sources power like solar & hydro-regeneration. 

The backup Generator is set to automatically turn on to charge the batteries at pre-determined levels to make sure there is always adequate power in the battery bank.

Oceanvolt dual-engine control levers

All the power you need at your fingertips.

Oceanvolt engine controllers are smooth and easy to operate.

With electric motors unique characteristics to deliver a linear torque curve, offering full power from the start all the way through the rev range allows for sublime boat handling.

With two aft-mounted motors on either hull  360° degree turns pivoting on a point are possible. With skill and practice, you can edge the yacht sideways.

Switching from forward to reverse can be done faster than traditional diesel engines which provides better responsiveness and safety margin.

All of this is done in silence. 

dual_control_lever.png

Motor Controller

Each electric motor has its own dedicated engine controller. 

This controls the motor operation of inverting DC to 3-phase AC.

The end of range anxiety

The Maverick 440 Hybrid sailing comes standard with backup diesel GenSet(s) that can run the electric engines all day long with long-range full tanks.  

90% of use cases for motors are for short-haul maneuvers like anchoring or maneuvering.  Pure electric power is perfect for this due to the high levels of immediate torque.

There are times where you may require large amounts of power from your engines for sustained periods, such as when outrunning a storm, making your way up a river, or when crossing the doldrums in no wind. For these times it is good to have backup GenSet(s) linked to long-range fuel tanks to give you a lot of options & peace of mind.

LiFePO4 batte ries & electric motors offer greener alternative

Diesel has around 100 times the energy density of Lithium-Ion Phosphate (LiFePO4)  batteries.

LiFePO4 has 2'000 full discharge cycles, this can be up to 12'000 cycles.

Provided the method used to charge the batteries is from a green sustainable & renewable source Lithium-Ion Phosphate ( LiFePO4) can offer around 20 times or 2'000% improvement.

Consistently driving an electric engine that obtains its energy source from fossil fuels alone has a higher environmental impact than simply using a diesel engine. This has got to do with inefficiencies related to the principles of conservation of energy. It is more efficient to use the power of diesel to drive a piston than to use it to convert into electricity, store in a battery and then convert for usage by the electric engine, as at each step a small amount of energy is lost.

Therefore an important consideration for a greener tomorrow is to make sure that your charge your batteries with green sustainable & renewable energy sources whenever possible. Sources such as wind power, solar power, and hydro-power are environment-friendly and sustainable ways to recharge your batteries. These green energy sources can be created on and by your yacht and also obtained through shore power sourced from green energy providers.

Jump to Maverick 440 Catamarans For Sale

Following on the success of the Maverick 400, the Maverick 440 was the natural progression to a larger boat with larger transoms which are fantastic swim platforms, incorporating storage and increasing the waterline length which results in faster speeds and a smoother ride. Earlier cats, designed before the late 1980’s, had high aft cross-arms that you had to climb over to access the cockpit. Nearly all newer cats have opened up the cockpits, giving better access to the sea and dock. Streamlining the aft cross-arm also forced the main-sheet track onto the coach roof or bimini. Getting that out of the cockpit area improved safety and reduced clutter. At the same time it allowed the deck to extend further aft.

The Maverick 440 is designed for a couple or family who wish to sail around the world in comfort, whilst having the ability to do all the things they love and enjoy the places they visit. It is a cruising catamaran for long distance voyages and living aboard, designed specifically for comfort, safety and reliability without compromising performance. It combines high volume interior space with lightweight construction techniques. The Maverick 440 is a world-class yacht designed for a safe and comfortable life afloat with extra-wide hulls providing good load-carrying capacity with generous cabins and excellent visibility.

show">Annapolis show and loved the Maverick 440. The layout: it has the biggest kitchen for its size, and space for a machine/dishware or what ever else you wanted. The owner's version also had the ability to sleep 8 (2 in the saloon). The area was bigger then most in its class. The outside was smaller then most in its class but had the tables that raised up into the roof to help with the smaller area. My wife loved the hammock on the back. I loved the big platforms on the back of the hulls. We felt that the FPs, Leopards and Lagoons steps were very steep and shallow vs the Maverick and Fusion's layouts.

The only downside (which isn't that big of a deal) is the Maverick didn't look as plush compared to the 3 bigger production boat and the Fusion. I Also love those beds that turn to the inside in the forward hulls ie like the Fusion and some of the older Leopards. Also love the Helia's sitting up top.

Now as you can tell we don't know much about Catamaran's or in general. But I have at least 5 yrs to learn and . We have done some Chartering to test the waters so to speak with more to come.

So to my questions: How is the Maverick as a sailing vessel compared to the Helia, Fusion or Leopards (older ones being that I don't think I am a fan of the leopards front porch). I am looking to sail around the of the US and the for a few yrs and then spend some time in and the Pacific. At the moment avoiding and the Middle East things change in the future. So I would like a boat that can sail well (balance between and fast). How is the construction? I have done a search and found this thread which was concerning:
I was looking for a more focused thread on this boat being that there is no section for Mavericks. Hoping to hear from Maverick owner's as well as others. If there are Fusion owners I would love to hear from them also.

Regards,

Any and all is welcome being we are just in the planning/research stages and are complete novices.

and we also loved the Maverick 440. It just seemed to be a well thought out design with tons of cool features. We'll have to look closer next time at the fit an finish.

351 now and the better half can't without getting claustrophobic so cat is the only way to realize my plans. I am concentrating on sailability & ease of maint more than creature comforts as I feel this will be my burden for the planned 5-7 years aboard.

Curious if you have ruled out the series? Aside from difficulty reefing it is atop my list so far with the Helia in second...

before I take of anything I buy. Wouldn't some of this been their before the transport like the cabinet issue? Also the bubbling inside maybe? The cracking I can see from the sailing.

I know houses and what to look for but I know nothing about boats and wearing. I am just observing and applying the only things I know via common sense. That is why I am asking you guys for more insight and knowledge.

No one has mentioned if this is a one off or common for this brand/model/factory (i know some models can & will be build in different factories over their existence IE lagoon and gunboat) or year? Also lucky for me (I guess) I won't be from the manufacturer, so I am really focusing on how brands/models hold up over time.

and are inadequate. The already grossly inadequate structure/scantlings, of course, have been further weakened by the cracks in structural bulkheads and at this point it is surely unseaworthy. This is to say nothing of the vast amount of blistering, which while not structural, is further evidence of inferior build quality.

A while back there was a thread asking the question, 'How old is too old' with respect to frp boats. Some opined that there was no advantage to the typically 'overbuilt' boats of the past and that the real threat to structural integrity of the and was that resin becomes more brittle over time. This and the failure of structural bulkheads in some recent Lagoons, as well as the failure of the laminates surrounding the in a recent (and some earlier Beneteau's) makes me wonder.

My boat is 21 years old and has zero signs of structural stress cracks, even around stanchion bases (there are a couple on hatches by the latches). Yes, she is heavy and relatively slow. But was she 'ovebuilt'? I don't think so.
