I'm looking for a manufacturer of saildrives and folding propellers for a project we are currently working on, which will have twin 300 hp engines and would like to use saildrives. (final required speed 21 kts, displacement 13 T)
Any Idea??
Thanks

Thanks for you fast reply. Any thoughts on any alternative propulsion to have minmum drag (having lowest costs possible) under sail apart from conventional shaft and prop?

A CPP (controllable pitch prop) is a very efficient solution.
But contact "Schottel" in Germany, they invented the "saildrive" principle and may have a solution?
