Technical information

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.
