To achieve superb sailing performances of the boat, designer constructed the keel wing very long and deep. Our mechanism enables to lift the keel wing at the time arriving in harbor or if the depth of the sea is flat.
It is also appreciated by sail men at the time of maneuvering.
The mechanism is designed with 3 cylinders.:
- main is used for lifting and dropping the keel wing
- upper locking cylinder to lock the keel wing at upper position
- lower locking cylinder to lock the keel wing at lower position
Lifting of keel wing can be controlled from cockpit electrically, but in emergency situation also manually.
When the keel wing is in upper position, it is not allowed to use sail, therefore we connect sensors of final positions to sailing secure mode.
Just for reference you can check the pictures below.
