Groundbreaking tiltable masts on Neoliner Origin

In some sailing areas, air draft is limited. For a vessel like Neoliner Origin, equipped with two SolidSail masts reaching an air draft of 90 meters, these constraints require an innovative technical solution.

To address this, the masts can tilt up to 72° thanks to a hydraulic system integrated at their base. This reduces the air draft to 42 meters, more than a 50% reduction, allowing access to many ports.

Neoline released a short animation to illustrate the system
