RIM6 – Sailing school use

Using a RIM6 electric motor on a sailing school instructor's boat

Discover the RIM6 thruster in operation on a sailing school secu 12 , through the testimony of the 47 Nautik team in Séné.

The thruster is equipped with an energy pack 6 offering an autonomy of more than 2 hours and thus allowing to carry out a complete course. A doubling of the autonomy is planned for a comfortable operation.

The traction capacity is deployed in the towing phases. The instructors love the silence, the absence of vibration and the maneuverability of the system. This test was carried out in order to validate the use and the different elements constituting the Hy.G motors offer for this particular use.

Thanks to 47 Nautik and especially the Séné team for these testimonials, their expertise and their trust!
