The advantages are:
■
Low level of noise and vibrations
■
Facility of installation for the unit limited size
■
Flexibility in the choice of the position onboard
■
Low resistance to the sailing progress
The drawbacks are:
■
Impossibility of use on boats with deep keel
■
Limited choice of drive and propeller ratios.
Water jet propeller
With this type of propulsion system the thrust action is obtained as a result of the variation of the quan-
tity of motion of a water mass at the expense of the energy supplied through a one-stage pump (or
more stages), generally of axial type with ducted blades (figure 7).
The lack of underwater protruding tailpieces reduces the hull travelling resistance and thus the system
is particularly suitable for sailing on shallow waters, with a good operating flexibility and the use in
extremely safe conditions both for the damages resulting from any water obstacles and the possible
injuries due to the lack of the propeller and the rudder. With this system it is possible to reach high
speeds with a particularly good propulsion efficiency and manoeuvrability which gets worse at low
speeds.
The installation on the hull is relatively easy, but the space need is rather big.
