ON DISPLAY AT CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL (Palais 122)
Amsterdam, The Netherlands — YANMAR Marine International is introducing two new saildrive models strengthening its range of products for the sailing sector.
The SD110 Saildrive and SD150 Saildrive are for use on sailing monohull yachts and catamarans up to 65 feet, enabling owners of larger sailboats to experience the benefits of YANMAR’s proven range of saildrive solutions. Providing an exclusive combination of common rail and saildrive efficiency for vessels with higher power engines, YANMAR offers the SD110 Saildrive propulsion system with the 4JH80 and 4JH110 engine models, whilst the SD150 pairs with YANMAR’s 4LV150 engine
Customers using these saildrives around the world can enjoy the confidence, security and convenience of our global service infrastructure, available in over 130 countries and backed by YANMAR’s expertise.
Visitor’s to YANMAR’s stand (Palais 122) at Cannes Yachting Festival will be able to see the complete drive solution with the SD150 and 4LV150 engine on display and a team of experts available to answer questions on YANMAR’s propulsion systems.
YANMAR’s advanced common rail engines pair seamlessly with the electric-controlled saildrives, ensuring clean installation and smooth operation. With hydraulic shifting and a recommended folding propeller, the saildrives reduce noise and vibration, contributing to overall comfort onboard. The SD110 and SD150 are compatible with a Flexofold foldable propeller, renowned for its extremely low drag performance, safety, and efficient operation.
Floris Lettinga, Director of Sales & Marketing at YANMAR Marine International, said: “By bringing the SD110 and SD150 Saildrives into the YANMAR line-up, we’re reinforcing our commitment to customers by ensuring our products are compact, easy and safe to install with no specific alignments required, which also simplifies the production process and reduces costs for OEMs.”
