What can ZF Sail Drive provide?

The ZF Sail Drive offers skippers a highly efficient and comfortable system for motoring while not under sail. The system, designed to allow the engine to be positioned facing the bow or stern, offers boat builders significant design flexibility. The system is robust and reliable, and can be matched with a large range of fixed or foldable propellers, moving the vessel powerfully and safely.

Details

Efficiency

The exceptional efficiency of the Sail Drive is obtained both through reducing the hydrodynamic resistance of the immersed section of the drive, and maximizing thrust efficiency, through a design that positions the propeller exactly parallel to the moving direction of the hull of the vessel.
