Volkswagen Marineunder full sailsWe have never claimed that taking pleasure inVolkswagen Marine Power requires permanentuse of it. It also feels good to have it aboard whilebeing under sail.S U P E R I O R T E C H N O L O G YOur engines have always been highly appreciatedpropulsion units for sail yachts, and not by coincidence.Their extremely low emissions, minimizedmaintenance requirements and their particularlyrefined running characteristics simply form an idealpackage to meet the expectations of demandingsailing enthusiasts.And one thing may be openly said, given the factthe we have many offshore sailing skippers in ourown team: The engine of a cruising sailyacht is oneof the most vital components of the boat, even ifthat is a difficult fact to admit for some of us ...One look at today’s typical coastal sailing revealsthat bigger and bigger boats take to sea with verysmall crews or even single handled. That makeswindward tacking a tough, if not marginal option inmany situations, and it means at the same time thatengines move far, far beyond their former use ofmerely driving a sail yacht into harbour if the windlets you down.Instead, they are often expected to push a boatthrough tough seas and strong winds. VolkswagenMarine diesel engines look forward to be at yourservice for this, even if you will hardly hear them inoperation.What we now offer is an adequate,state of the art saildrive option whichis made by the leading player in thisfield, ZF Marine. In combination withthat sturdy, reliable drive unit, ourengines meet today’s typical installationrequirements aboard many, if notmost sailing boats.Being designed for combination withengines up to 55 kw (75hp), our saildrivewill initially be offered in combinationwith our four cylinder series SDI 40-4,SDI 50-5 and SDI 60-4.Along with our tailor-cut installationplatform, the entire package can beinstalled by boatyards in a minimumof time and on a minimum of surface –yet offering all the qualities that haveensured a lot of attention for VolkswagenMarine from the beginning of ouractivity.Fair winds to all who know how touse them!
