McCONAGHY FRERS 57

“I am so pleased with the way the two Oceanvolt ServoProp installations are performing on Shearwater - my carbon performance cruiser. It adds a new sophistication to all aspects to its functionality – silent departures from the dock, great regeneration capability on passages and so much torque in forward and especially reverse. Well done Oceanvolt …. and thank you for your support - all the way on the other side of the planet – Sydney Australia!” – Guido Belgiorno-Nettis, owner of Shearwater

Built by McConaghy Boats and designed by German Frers the McConaghy Frers 57 electric performance cruiser is a carbon rocket ship with all the cruising comforts for those most remote archipelagos. A great deal of emphasis has gone into researching and specifying the lightest equipment and interior materials available. The McConaghy Frers 57 is powered by two 15kW Oceanvolt sail drive motors placed in front of the two rudders, a 16 kWh battery pack and 20kW DC generator.
