Getting the best performance out of a racing yacht is tough, with lots of controlled and uncontrolled variables in the equation to success. Accurate sensors are essential to provide the valid data on which crews can make decisions, and confidently repeat optimum settings for performance. Sensors for wind speed and angle, boatspeed and heading have evolved over the decade...
The two-genset system is possible due to the addition of an electrical cabinet containing a parallel module, which houses the connection of the generators’ power output cables and controls the synchronisation and switching. “For larger yachts and vessels that have traditionally been fitted with two or more over-sized independent generators, a parallel generator soluti...
