We are incredibly excited to present the UK debut of the award-winning Yanmar SDe all-electric saildrive. A truly groundbreaking fully integrated electric propulsion system that sets a new standard for eco-friendly sailing. This prestigious double winner of the 2024 DAME Design Award (in the ‘Propulsion & Dynamics’ and ‘Environmental’ categories) represents the future of sustainable propulsion.

Available in three power options (7kW, 10kW, 15kW) for sailboats up to 40ft, the SDe’s ‘plug-and-play’ design requires no hull modifications, making it a direct, straightforward replacement for traditional engines fitted to a saildrive. It’s a perfect example of how innovation can minimise your CO2 footprint without compromising on the enjoyment and adventure of being on the water.

SDe will be showcased alongside our comprehensive range of renowned Yanmar compact diesel engines most of which are certified for use of HVO fuel. Our experts will be on hand to guide you through the best repower option for your needs, be it diesel or electric, backed by our unparalleled aftersales support and servicing.
