Saildrive drive system (33 kW peak output, 40 HP equivalent)

 

Complete system consisting of:

 

• saildrive
• connection box
• charger
• remote throttle
• onboard computer with display
• cables (high-voltage batteries not included)

 

 

 

 

The most powerful electric saildrive from serial production is a Torqeedo. The Deep Blue SD can propel displacement vessels weighing up to 50 tons as well as large yachts at speeds of up to 18 km/h. This makes cruising with large yachts completely emission-free with virtually no noise or vibration.

The shaft-free design allows installation at almost any point and makes maintenance of the Deep Blue SD very convenient. Seamless integration with the Deep Blue Hybrid system offers the option of energy recovery while sailing.

 

 

 

Deep Blue 25 SD - Benefits:

 

• Light weight (saildrive with motor and electronics system 190 lbs)
• Space-saving design
• Compatible with standard mounting flanges
• Best performance with maximum convenience
• Professional safety

 

 

Range

 

Deep Blue 25 SD with one high voltage battery

 

 

	Speed in knots (km/h)*	Range in nm (km)*	Running time in hh:mm*
Slow	5,0 (9,3)	12,5 (23,3)	02:30
Full throttle	10,0 (18,5)	5,0 (9,3)	0:30

 

* Depends on type of boat, load, propeller and conditions. Speed and range indications do not represent a legal guarantee.

 

 

Information on range and speed

For a displacement boat making way through the water, the required propulsive power increases in proportion to the cube of the speed. This means that if you want to double your speed, you need eight times as much power.

 

And vice-versa, a small reduction in speed is enough to increase the achievable range substantially.

 

The Torqeedo Deep Blue's on-board computer calculates the remaining range constantly, by linking the motor's consumption data with the charging level of the batteries, and the speed over the ground from the GPS. This allows you to read the remaining range in real time from the motor display or the smartphone app TorqTrac.
