Lecture by Anne Duncan, Yellowfin. Marine propulsion technology was surprisingly basic and on recognising this gap in the market Yellowfin developed a revolutionary high-speed propulsion system called Variable Surface Drive (VSD). The system represents a leap forward in maneuverability, ease of use, fuel consumption and performance.
