Canopée RoRo, equipped with four Lowerable Fixed Wingsails (OW LF)

It provides the highest thrust-to-weight ratio (59%⁽²⁾) of the market, guaranteeing stability and easy integration while maximizing commercial cargo space. It offers a large operating window with net propulsive power from 5° of apparent wind angle.

Last but not least, the wingsail’s geometry (11m wide) offers a natural roll damping effect which is particularly appreciated by the crew on such a shallow draft vessel. With no air draft limitation, the client opted for a reefable solution.

Specifically designed for Ro-Ro, PCTC* and passenger vessels with no air draft limitation, our Lowerable Fixed Wingsail (OW LF) offers a perfect solution for both retrofits and newbuilds projects, when tilt is not an option.
