The 464 CC will be lighter and stiffer thanks to a carbon structure, with many parts, such as the daggerboards and rudder blades, also being made of carbon. As for the sailplan, it will become a little sleeker. The VersaDrive version combines electric motors, a generator, a hydrogeneration system, a 36 kWA battery capacity and solar panels totaling up to 3 kWp.
