The Dutch yard of cruiser motor yachts has fitted Mastervolt’s DriveMaster 7.5 Ultra drive system in their 26ft Grand Sturdy 25.9 Sedan. In order to express the green image of the 25.9 “E-Tech” Hybrid, Linssen has chosen the drive system to be powered by four lithium-ion batteries. For extended range the system is supported by a Whisper 3,5 generator.
The system was successfully integrated within 3 months of time, from request for quotation up until finalization of test drives, JIT ready for the introduction during their Summer Festival. This festival is a yearly event exclusively held for Linssen boat owners and prospects and is combined with their annual International dealer meeting.
Mastervolt Benelux was invited to give a presentation at this dealer meeting for the dealers to get an impression of the company and technology behind the hybrid drive system. After a corporate presentation, a more detailed product presentation focused on the applied hybrid drive system was given.
The presentation was followed by a test drive of the boat during which the dealers were able to more specifically raise their questions in the nice atmosphere of sunny weather, calm water and the silence of the vibration and odorless Mastervolt full hybrid drive system.
Our presence during this dealer meeting as well as the clear explanation was much appreciated, not only by the dealers but especially by the board of directors of Linssen . Dealers and Linssen personnel expressed to be impressed by the performance of the system, especially supplied power by the drive system over the full throttle range and driving range at cruising speed. We expect many of these full hybrid Linssen Grand Sturdy boats to show up in different area’s worldwide.
