Dynamaris One is the first version of a small unmanned vessel: solar powered, two hulls, a canopy of panels and a net that trails behind. Built by the same four people, tested in the harbour at Agios Kirikos.
A catamaran small enough to launch by hand from a slipway, powered by the panels on its own roof, with no one on board.
Behind it trails a net that gathers what floats on the surface. It is a first version: built to find out what a vessel this size can do on a working harbour, before deciding what the second one should be.
