By taking over the Flexofold propeller card, Seaview Progress becomes the specialist in propellers for sailboats. Indeed, this distributor completes its offer, as it already offers Max-Prop propellers.
Max-Prop are feathered propellers. The blades orient themselves in the current bed as soon as the motor is switched off. This limits drag under sail, but above all provides maximum thrust in both forward and reverse. With models from 2 to 5 blades, the Max-Prop covers the entire pleasure yacht market. A small criticism of these top-of-the-range models: their price.
The Flexofold range is the perfect solution. Indeed, for the same size, these propellers cost about 30% less than the Maxprop. The technology is not the same, because Flexofolds are folding propellers (duckbill type). They are available in 2, 3 or 4 blades for shaft line or saildrive.
These propellers are often found as original equipment on catamarans or other large shipyards. This Danish company, which has been bought out by the Yanmar group two years ago, is also innovating. In 2018, a new propeller was discovered with its composite hub for weight saving.
The dream as a driving force
But handing out material is not enough if you don't offer a dream with it. This dream is the engine of Seaview Progress. The one that makes him want to distribute ever more efficient products to take boaters to the ends of the earth.
As proof, Seaview Progress is taking part in the L'Occitane IMOCA adventure, which will be launched in January 2020 before taking part in the Vendée Globe. He is also a partner in the Adventures of Basil, this steel Damien II that is being refurbished before leaving for Antarctica. The restoration of Damien (the original model) in La Rochelle also saw the participation of Seaview Progress. Finally, Seaview Progress is collaborating in the adventure of Didier Bovard, this crazy sailor who crosses the oceans on a hydrocycle.
All of these dreamy adventures use products from the Seaview Progress catalog
