Yanmar introduces saildrive to larger monohulls and
multihulls
Yanmar says it has answered significant demand from the world’s leading boat builders with the introduction of the SD15 saildrive solution for larger sailboats with engines from 80 HP to 150 HP.
Enabling the 50-to-65-foot monohull and multihull sector to access the installation and user benefits associated with saildrive systems for the first time, the new SD15 is already successfully installed on a Sunreef 50 following extensive field testing on a Kufner 54.
The SD15 saildrive, made by ZF, can be coupled to the Yanmar 4JH80, 4JH110 and 4LV150 common rail engines, offering a new option to a vastly extended range of sailboats and catamarans using higher horsepower engines that have previously relied on conventional drive lines.
Icom reintroduces two fixed marine VHF radios due to customer demand
The IC-M423GE (formerly the IC-M423G) and the IC-M400BBE (formerly the IC-M400BB) are almost identical to their predecessors except that they now feature an integrated GPS and an external GPS antenna to meet the latest ITU-R M493-14 regulations.
The reintroduction of the models also means that Icom’s HM-195CMI Multi-Station Commandmic Interface is back, allowing users the option of controlling the IC-M423GE and IC-M400BBE with a pair of remote Commandmics.
The IC-M423GE VHF/DSC marine radio is suitable for customers who are looking for a compact radio for their boat with advanced functions and dual station control, explained Ian Lockyer, Icom marketing manager.

Intellian releases new antenna for smaller vessels
Intellian’s new GX60NX antenna is type approved for use with Inmarsat’s Global Xpress Ka-band VSAT network and was launched earlier this year. The compact and lightweight GX60NX 65cm terminal is the smallest in Intellian’s GX portfolio range and brings the functionality and performance of the NX Series to smaller vessels using Inmarsat’s Fleet Xpress service for reliable, fast connectivity at sea.
“We’re delighted to introduce the GX60NX antenna, completing our GX NX portfolio and bringing the benefits of our future-proof, user-friendly antennas to our valued customers in the small commercial, leisure and fishing markets,” said Eric Sung, Intellian CEO. “The integration of our market-leading technology with Inmarsat’s global network provides a seamless route to connectivity, whatever the needs of your business.”
The Below Deck Terminal (BDT), single cable antenna connection and AptusNX control software are identical to those used for the larger GX100NX, which is already approved. This allows ship management companies and ship owners to benefit from the ability to work with a standard platform across diverse fleets.
