HD Rudder

HD Rudder

OPTIMAL MANOEUVRING PERFORMANCE

The HD rudders provide an excellent manoeuvring performance, which is proven in practice and in the most stringent towing-tank trials. These high-efficiency rudders can be used with or without a nozzle. They have an asymmetrical profile and are always applied in a pair. The HD rudders have been especially developed for inland vessels in combination with a 2, 4 or 6 rudder propulsion set-up.

The HD rudders have asymmetric rudder angles up to 80 degrees, providing optimal slipstream guidance. With these rudder you are assured of an excellent manoeuvring performance, also with low velocity (speed). They have a maintenance-friendly design and a long lifespan.

We advise:
Our Hydro spoiler for maximum performance. This spoiler improves the propulsion efficiency, increases speed and reduces vibrations and sounds.

APPLICATION

Inland vessels that require high manoeuvrability across a range of different sailing conditions (high and low water) and situations (canals, low speed manoeuvring).

ADVANTAGES

In short

Excellent manoeuvring performance
Long lifespan
Eco-friendly design
Low maintenance

Package

2DWK Steering System

SP2700 Control System

SP2700 is a real-time redundant digital steering installation with a control and alarm system.

HP7000 Control System

HP7000 is a proportional hydraulic installation This steering installation is completely independent of the electrical system.

BOSS ECO

The BOSS™ eco system consists of a touchscreen display with integrated software, which continuously calculates and shows the steering behaviour in relation to the steering movements and rudder angles, aligned to the actual sailing situation.

HYDROSPOILER

The purpose of the Hydro Spoiler is to optimise water flow towards the rudder. A spoiler is placed behind the propeller, exactly on the centreline.
