Retractable Propulsion System

Another innovation by Boatspeed

The retractable propulsion system was developed in house by Boatspeed Director, Peter Ullrich. Operated by simple hydraulics, the Retractable Propeller Shaft offers all the benefits of conventional systems whilst under power but once under sail folds away to reduce drag.

Boatspeed is continuing the development of this system to a fully coupled version for use in cruising vessels
