Lightweight when conditions allow. Exceptionally stable when conditions demand it.
Watch how the Salthouse Coach Boat’s innovative water ballast system works. With a simple fill-and-drain process, coaches can quickly add stability when conditions get challenging – then return to lightweight performance when they don’t.
The world of competitive sailing is evolving at an extraordinary pace, particularly with foiling classes pushing boats and athletes faster than ever before. For coaches, keeping up means having a platform that's every bit as capable.
The latest evolution of the Salthouse Coach Boat does exactly that with the introduction of an innovative water ballast system.
Renowned for their lightweight performance, high-speed manoeuvrability and dry ride, Salthouse Coach Boats now offer the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions. Coaches can add up to 170kg of water ballast to an integral tank in the lowest point of the hull, transforming the boat into an exceptionally stable platform for high-speed performance in rough seas.
The system is engineered with simplicity and reliability as its priorities. With no hidden mechanical components, it is robust, low maintenance and designed for years of dependable service.
The sealed ballast tank can be filled with 170kg of water in under two minutes and emptied in three, giving coaches the ability to quickly adapt the boat as conditions change throughout the day.
The result is the best of both worlds: maximum stability and control when coaching high-speed fleets in demanding environments, while retaining the lightweight performance, fuel efficiency and easy road towing that Salthouse Coach Boats are known for.
