Nautican Component
Hydralift Skegs
Patented low-resistance skegs made of three narrow hydrofoils that give towed barges directional stability with typically 35 to 50 percent less resistance.
Description
Nautican Hydralift Skegs provide directional stability to towed barges with much less resistance than conventional skegs, typically a 35 to 50 percent improvement.
Key features
- Three narrow vertical hydrofoils angled inward, held by a horizontal foil angled downward at nearly the rake angle
- Stabilizes the barge by lifting it laterally, countering stern drift
- Provides thrust, increasing towing speed and fuel savings
Applications
Towed barges; fastest payback on ocean-going barges towed long distances.
