SMOOTH SAILING FOR SUPERYACHT AFTER PROPSPEED APPLICATION

“We have been using Propspeed for a long time on Montkaj and we have seen the effectiveness of this coating. At each service we find our propellers and our shafts clean and without corrosion.”

SUMMARY

Montkaj is powered by twin 12-cylinder 2,525 hp Caterpillar engines, allowing her to reach a max speed of 18 knots and cruise at a comfortable 15 knots.

ABOUT

Montkaj was launched in 1995 by Amels in Holland. Originally measuring 246 feet, Montkaj underwent an extensive refit in 2000 which saw her extended by 10 feet. The superyacht sleeps up to 24 guests in 12 cabins and is powered by twin 12-cylinder 2,525 hp Caterpillar engines, allowing her to reach a max speed of 18 knots and cruise at a comfortable 15 knots.

Samuel Thwaites, Second Officer on Montkaj, has found that Propspeed helps to keep the yacht’s running gear in top condition while also maximising performance.

"We have been using Propspeed for a long time on Montkaj and we have seen the effectiveness of this coating. At each service we find our propellers and our shafts clean and without corrosion. We apply Propspeed every two years in our yard. Propspeed is so easy to apply and keeps our running gear in the best condition. We are a 25-year-old superyacht, and our propellers look as good as new. It keeps us running at top speed without straining the engines. All in all, a fantastic product."
