Sea trials with Fairline Yachts

How do you know if your new propellers are performing as you were promised in the sales pitch? We were out on the water with Fairline earlier this summer using our in-house Trials App software. We gathered and analysed critical sea trial data to demonstrate our bespoke Class S propellers are delivering optimum performance for the new Squadron 58.

The sea trial found:

– that at cruising speeds of 15-20knots, fuel consumption was around 15 L/hr lower with the CJR Class S propellers compared to a traditional hand-finished propeller from a competitor.

– vibration and noise levels at1800 and 2470 (WOT) RPM were significantly reduced (by up to 4/5s in some places) with the CJR propellers

This seatrial is an important phase of our ongoing technical partnership with the Fairline design and engineering teams. It gives everyone (including the boats’ new owners) confidence that enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced vibration for a smooth and comfortable ride are real – not just sales spiel.

We don’t just talk about improved efficiency we demonstrate it – and that’s data our customers can really use. Get in touch now if you’d like to find out more about how we can help you demonstrate improved efficiency to your customers and other stakeholders. Email:  [email protected]
