A New Paradigm for Cruising

Transmission

Hi Steve & Linda, Would you explain what kind of transmission allowed you to pack your engine into the aft ER like you did? Regards, Bob Frenier
Hi Bob: We have been using aft engine rooms for 30+ years and in that time many different transmission. The key ingredient is engine room length – designing for it from day one – rather than the tranny. The transmission on Wind Horse  are ZF 280 A’s, and on the FP 64 ZF280V’s. But we have also used Hurth and Borg Warer  over the years.

“The 83ft-long (25m) wave-piercer...could easily be mistaken for the spawn of the Royal Navy with its unpainted battleship grey, all-aluminum body. But that day, in those conditions, it was the only boat that I would have wanted to climb aboard to face the English Channel.” --Motor Boat & Yachting
