Yacht systems
Special prize for a truly unique yacht concept
The first variable-width high-sea catamaran
has been built using igus® components. These
double-hull boots always need two adjacent
berths in the harbour – which is very
expensive and usually impossible to book in
the peak season. Craning is extremely difficult,
since there are hardly any systems with a minimum
width of eight metres available. Thanks
to a patent-protected innovative, the width of
high-sea catamarans has now been able to
be reduced to 4.85 metres enabling them to
use the infrastructures of single-hull ships in
the harbour. A combination of e-chains® of the
series E04 and linear guides from the drylin®
family from igus® offer all the necessary characteristics
to deal with the torsion load and
realise adjustment perfectly.
