Sail Yachts
Benefits of using the VanishProp for sail yachts
- Reduces resistance from the propeller to zero percent when going by sail with the propeller collapsed/retracted
- The heavy components are placed optimally low
- Eliminates the classic oil smelling engine room
- Batteries and gen-sets can be placed more optimal
- Quiet propulsion
- Energy efficient propulsion
- Propeller blades can be replaced underwater by a diver
- Fouling on the propeller blades is no longer a problem. The blades either rotate or live their lives in complete darkness
- Can also work as a secondary/redundant system for safe return to port when another system fails
