Baltic Yachts have developed a new version of their Retractable Propulsion System (RPS) in conjunction with propeller experts Hundested.
This new system combines the ability to retract the propeller for increased performance with rotation through 90 degrees enabling it to double as a stern thruster.
Together with a controllable pitch propeller (CPP), the RPS provides the helmsman with a highly versatile tool for manoeuvring and eliminates the need for a separate space and power hungry stern thruster.
