PowerPower NewsNews NEWSLETTER OF POWER EQUIPMENT PTY LTD - AUSTRALIA Issue 26, September 2005 There’s A Commotion In The Ocean !

Dynamic Duo: Yanmar’s New 3YM30 & Gori’s Recently Released 3 Blade Overdrive Propeller Continue To Impress!

SEAWIND 1160 - 2005 WINNER SAILBOAT OF THE YEAR (Non Trailerable) eawind Catamarans are Australia’s Slargest manufacturer of cruising catamarans and have been established for 23 years as a leading multihull producer, being responsible for the very successful Seawind 1000 (150 now sold), Seawind 1200, Seawind 1050 Resort, plus the more recent Seawind Venturer 38 and 44 power cats.

The new 38ft Seawind 1160 won the 2005 AMIF (Australian Marine Industry Federation) Sailing Boat of the Year Award in the non-trailerable category.

Managing Director Richard Ward proudly accepted the prize at the 2005 Australian Marine Boating Awards gala dinner which was hosted at the Marriot in Surfers Paradise in conjuction with the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show in May this year. In his speech he thanked the dedicated Seawind crew for all the hard work that has gone into this innovative new catamaran.

Following the successful launch of the 38ft Seawind 1160 at the Sydney International Boat Show in July 2004 orders came thick and fast for this new breed of cruising catamaran. After the past couple of years in development, the long wait was well worth it with many improvements resulting, from merging some of the best features of both the Seawind 1000 and Seawind 1200. Apart from the island queen size beds, self tacking jib, large bathroom/head, opening forward windows, and modern interior fitout, the TRI-FOLDING DOORS were above all the biggest hit providing an unequalled living space in the Seawind Saloon.

Only days after the 2005 Sanctuary Cove boat show wound up in June the Sea Wind Catamaran Sales staff had already signed contracts on 4 new vessels with several more expected to be confirmed. This adds to an already substantial back order book with production slots currently booked into 2006 and provides re-assurance that the plans to increase production capacity at their NSW production facility are more than justified. 2005 Sailboat The QLD based Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show effectively is the first major boat show on the 2005 national circuit and the excellent interest shown at this event was repeated at the Sydney Of The Year International Boat show which had just finalized at the time of going to print with this story.

With vessels already delivered to the USA Has A Yanmar and Korea and more export orders under construction it is obvious that the Australian boat fraternity is not the only market that has been impressed with this award winning design. Page • 2 Heart! Propulsion Package

The engine of choice for the Seawind 1160 is the new generation Yanmar 3YM30C / SD20 sail drive package which has a rated power output of 29hp @3600rpm. The Yanmar sail drive engine range (from 9hp to 75hp) is a clear market leader in Australia with over 69% of sail drive equipped vessels sold in the last 12 month’s being specified with Yanmar power.

What makes this 29hp package unique over the many other installations of the Yanmar sail drive is Seawind Catamarans are the first Australian production boat builder to specify the recently released 3 blade “overdrive” gori sail drive folding propeller as standard equipment. This is exciting news for Power Equipment (Australian distributor for Gori Propeller) as it is testament to the efforts of our staff in recent times in promoting the benefits that this premium priced propeller option can deliver for both the boat builder and vessel owners alike.

Sea Wind Catamarans chief delivery and commissioning skipper Mr Royce Black typifies the comment commonly heard by experi- Yanmar 3YM30C enced operators and owners of the 3-blade overdrive prop. “I was a bit sceptical at first but it really does work, during deliveries I do not have the luxury of waiting for good sailing conditions so the 3 blade Gori makes the difference between missing my deadline (and return flight home) and being on schedule. The low fuel usage and reduced noise of the Yanmar / Gori 3 blade package when motor sailing and motoring is an added bonus. I find myself motoring on only one engine more often than not due to it’s phenomenal performance and as such the fuel range possible with the Seawind 1160 is incredible.”

In addition to the 3 blade Gori Propeller, Power Equipment supply a customised installation kit (from exhaust system to controls) to Seawinds Catamarans to facilitate their build / supply process for every engine package. This has been developed in close consultation with our NSW Sales Manager, Mr Mike Egan, who has enjoyed working closely with this account for many years.

The new Yanmar YM series since its launch late last year has continued to impress boat owners with its quiet and smoke clean free operation. Boat builders alike have praised the new compact design instrument panel, electric shut off system and factory supplied optional 80amp alternator’s which all form part of the 3 new YM models ranging from 14hp to 29hp.

Gori 3 Blade Overdrive Propeller

Congratulations to all the team at Seawind Catamarans for the AMIF Sailing boat of the year award from all of us here at Power Equipment, one that is well justified and one that Power Equipment , Yanmar Engines and Gori propellers are very proud to be chosen to be part of.

Power Equipment has introduced its range of Yanmar branded lubricating oil and coolants. Selected specifically to suit the range of Yanmar diesel engines, this new range of lubricating oil and coolant will help you to provide only the best for your engine.

Competitively priced, the new range of Yanmar lubricating oils and coolants are now available from Power Equipment and the Australian based authorised Yanmar Dealer network commencing from the end of the third quarter of 2005.

The Yanmar L Series Diesel Engines are used in the Davey Single and Twin Impeller Pumps in both manual and electric start versions. These pumps are used for:

* Fire Fighting * Water Transfer * Irrigation * Boom Spraying * Agricultural Spraying * Jet Pump Applications

Current Yanmar L Series Engines supplied to Davey are the L70AE-DPA/E and L100AE-DP/E. In the last two years Davey has introduced the ISO range of End Suction Pumps which has given Power Equipment the opportunity of selling our well established Yanmar TNE Irrigation Pack Davey International Dealer Conference range.

It wasn’t all work, every night there was a special function or dinner organised, the highlight of which was a mystery night that landed all 260+ of us at Seaworld Resort where we were entertained by the Dolphins, the water skiers, the roller coaster, the biggest buffet you’ve ever seen and a New Years Eve style fireworks display.
