Hybrid propulsion. Built for fast hulls.<\/h2>\n

A fast hull sails where others motor. Every hour under sail is an hour without fuel, and an hour when the propeller puts energy back.<\/p>\n

On a fast bluewater catamaran, the propeller puts back part of what the boat spends.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

The problem worth solving<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything has improved except the noise<\/h2>\n

Hulls are faster, sails easier to handle, electronics more dependable. But leaving harbour, the night at anchor and the flat calm are still paid for at the same price: an engine running, a smell, a vibration through the hull, a conversation put off until later.<\/p>\n

A fast hull sails where others motor.\u00a0The propeller takes its power from the boat, so generating means slowing a little. The gain of a fast hull is not power in the hour, it is the number of hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n
