NEW PRODUCTS
Each quarter The Report brings you an update on some of the new products and innovations to hit the boating, shipping and maritime industry.
New wireless load
sensor by Cyclops Marine
Cyclops Marine has launched a new wireless load sensor designed to help sailors find their groove, record their settings and most importantly repeat those settings.
Integrated boat and marina solution designed to monitor boats in real time
The Falco smart marina solution, to be launched in the UK in early 2021, comprises three main components – an app for boaters to access marine information, a device which tracks essential alerts such as a slipped mooring line, smoke detector, list or leak, intrusion or impact together with information about temperature and humidity levels and a network of WiFi sensors based on shore to track boat movements in real time.
The system has been developed and perfected by researchers in Inria France and will ‘empower marinas to develop the best- connected customer experience’, said Elsa Nicol, chief executive at Wattson Elements and founder of the Falco system.
“The marina office operates this service and responds in real time, providing customers with peace of mind, added security and protection of their treasured investments,” said Elsa.expect the S30-OB to play a significant role as a cash cow in the company.”
The sensor, called smartlink, delivers onboard, real-time dynamic load measuring, wirelessly feeding the data to a mobile application or the boat’s instruments via NMEA2000 Gateway and cable.
Manufactured in low density titanium, smartlink is lightweight and simple to add inline to any soft stay or sheet. Once fitted, the smartlink will help sailors find their winning settings and be able to repeat those proven settings for the wind conditions and the sea state.
“At any point in time, sailors can see what loads they are working with,” said Ian Howarth, chief executive at Cyclops Marine. “Teams are feeding back they are trimming their boats better, more consistently and sailing faster. Real time loading with visible numbers makes this easy.”
Smallest propeller from Ewol
Ewol Propellers is launching its smallest propeller to date, the E3 Andromeda. Said to be small but powerful, it has a slim and streamlined body, and is suitable for boats from 6-10 meters and engines from 7-30 hp.
A feathering propeller, the E3 Andromeda is made using high- resistance stainless steel. Like the larger E3 Orion and E4 Pegasus, its core is made up of gears that allow the blades to navigate according to the fluid threads of the water while sailing and provide the correct angle of incidence during engine navigation, said to improve both performances under sail and under engine.
The orientation of the blades is fully automatic. The micrometric setting of the pitch is performed from the outside using the adjustment ring allowing the thrust to be optimised, providing higher cruising speeds with lower revs which increases fuel efficiency.
