| I think this was one built strictly for scientific purposes, Fergal. I prefer the one in your photo, she's much more charming with her periscope!:-) |

Paul, I found a photo of an even smaller vessel with a Flettner Rotor

| :-) Much interesting & something very special on this site, an LNG Ferry (!!) - Hybrid powered Ferry (!!) ... and altogether this LNG hybrid powered ferry also looks as a very nice ferry ... for a ferry! |

There's a concept of LNG ferry with 2 Flettner rotors:

Denis, absolutely thank you ... oops what a great mistakeee I have makeee!
Indeed, it's the 'Magnus Effect' and the German engineer Anton Flettner was the first to build a ship which attempted to use the benefit of the Magnus Effect. I was yet confused, maybe of the morning hours!? |

| I didn't expect to see this technology applied to smaller vessels, but I guess why not. With 30-40% reduction in fuel consumption I suppose this born again technology is going to be in the ranks with all that is to come from the "green" era. |

| Jadran, it's called the "MAGNUS effect". Go back to school! |

You are very right Denis, in your re-confirmation statement.
It is clearly seen on the enlarged photo, that the white cylinder is connected to a shaft which is turning/rotating the 'Flettner Unit', causing the 'Flettner Effect' for moving the vessel in perpendicular direction in respect of the direction of the blowing wind! |

Hi Victor.. I thought of that but I dont know what other category? and I dont know if she will never fish again! maybe she will!
Jens it is a sail of some sort but not sure if it could be called a flettner |

I really welcome this environmental and animal friendly approach to fishing:
No gruesome death in a net, the fish is simply laughing itself to death! Cool...:-) |

| my understanding when I spoke to him was that this was part of a business idea/plan and this was a prototype for that :) |

| Perhaps the owner decided to save on fuel so he would have more money to restore the boat? |

Haha nice one! :D
Looks like the rotor is made out of paper? |
