The design has been specially developed with the features of the SkySails-System in mind, to maximise the advantages the system offers. The yacht is a 40 metres long Trimaran which can attain speeds of up to 20 knots using the SkySails propulsion alone - without support from the main engine - provided that suitable winds are present. > > <http://www.skysails.info/fileadmin/u..._Humphreys.pdf> ______________________________________________ Sorry that was a bad link <http://www.skysails.info/fileadmin/user_upload/Pressedownload/Dokumente/Broc hure_Humphreys.pdf> Brian Eiland beiland@usa.net www.RunningTideYachts.com distinctive expedition yachts _______________________________________________ Power-Catamaran Mailing List
