Smooth sailing

Sailboat motor

Wherever the wind takes you. Our innovation comes from a commitment to you and the sea, and nowhere do those come together more purely than in sailing. In your connection to the swells, the hull, the breeze. We work to add to those moments, not interrupt them. So our sailboat engines and solutions are reliable, powerful and quiet.

Electric Saildrive

Smooth, electric sailing

Together with long term boat building partner, Fountaine Pajot, we developed an all-electric prototype of our Saildrive system. The prototype was delivered in a twin installation, fitted to a Lucia 40 catamaran, and offered a near-soundless and almost vibration-free experience. The prototype came amid heightened interest in emission-free boating and provided valuable learnings for a future that is getting increasingly electric.
Designed to deliver enhanced performance and reduced vibrations. Our sailboat solutions are engineered to make your sailing experience more enjoyable.
— Robert Laigar, sailor and owner of a Volvo Penta D2-75 / 130S engine
