    Would it make any sense to combine a VSP (Voith-Schneider-Propeller) and a Azipod for yacht?

    Does anybody now any yacht where a VSP is installed?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    That You Tube Vid has a similar setup to some recently produced Mine Sweepers.

    I am not that confident in the anti roll features claimed though having seen some comparisons between a few of the available systems around recently.

    Wouldn't that be redundant? Either system will apparently provide vectored thrust, or am I missing something here? :confused:

    Hi,

    No you are correct.
