For its latest electrically-powered production, the Swedish shipyard boasts a motor that can operate for 3,000 hours without maintenance! It also boasts a range of 57 miles with a motor delivering 135 kW, equivalent to 100 hp. The C8 CC (for center console) is based on the hull of the previously launched C8 DC (for daycruiser). The hull features a mid-ship step and a step in front of the transom. Perfectly suited to inland waters thanks to its silent operation and low wake thanks to foiling, the Candela’s tapering bow guarantees comfort in waves at reduced speeds. Its lines are particularly attractive, and its deck layout has been well thought out to provide ample seating (seven, or even nine if you squeeze a little), a solarium and a comfortable saloon, without hindering ease of movement on board.
