HISTORY of an IDEA
As part of the new design of 41 ‘cruise sailing yachts, one of the conditions was the adoption of a lifting keel for shallow water, needed in the northern Adriatic, without precluding good sailing and lightweight performance displacement.
Initial research on existing models did not satisfy us so we studied a new type of mechanism, incorporating some important novelties over current solutions.
THUS THE “KEEL SERVANT” PROJECT WAS BORN, A NEW LIFTING MECHANISM FOR TELESCOPIC KEELS THAT OVERCOMES THE PROBLEMS AND DISADVANTAGES OF TELESCOPIC KEELS SO FAR AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET.

Technological partners
The Keel Servant was born from the meeting of two realities, Serigi Engineering e RALCitalia, 50% partners.
A transfer of know-how, professional skills, facilities.
