Emergency propulsion for the safety of all boats
Designed by Yves Parlier after his personal experiences in ocean racing and a serious breakdown, the LibertyKite® enables sailors to transport their boat in the event of dismasting or engine failure. It avoids towing costs and the risk of additional accidents that could cause secondary damage. The color and flying height of the LibertyKite® also make it visible to shipping vessels on the high seas.
A safety tool
for sailboats in the event of dismasting
Dismasting a sailboat is a harrowing experience that can happen to any sailor, no matter how experienced. Although standing and running rigging can sometimes be salvaged and reused, this requires a great deal of energy and time, and presents risks of injury.
In difficult dismasting conditions, the boat is tossed about by wind and sea, making the drift uncontrollable. The LibertyKite® can then be quickly deployed to regain course, stabilize the vessel, be visible and exit a danger zone. The sailor can then seek shelter or move closer to shore for safety.
A safety tool
for motorboats in the event of breakdown
Many professionals and yachtsmen sail far from the coast for fishing or convoying purposes. In the event of power or engine failure, it becomes impossible to get back on course and often to drop anchor.
Whether single- or twin-engine, this type of breakdown can become extremely problematic. The LibertyKite® is the perfect solution to help sailors get out of unpleasant, even perilous situations.
