Discover the RIM6 thruster in operation on a sailing school's Safety Boat 12, as described by the team at 47 Nautik in Séné.
The thruster is fitted with a 6 energy pack, providing over 2 hours of autonomy for a complete course. A doubling of autonomy is planned for comfortable operation.
Traction capacity is deployed during towing. Monitors love the silence, absence of vibration and maneuverability of the system. This test was carried out to validate the use and the various elements making up Hy.G motors' offer for this particular application.
Thanks to 47 Nautik and especially the Séné team for their testimonials, expertise and confidence!
