Title: Sovereign of the Seas
Post by: Season on August 18, 2009, 23:04:26

Hey...

I wondered if anyone knew whether she has propellers with rudders or azipods?
She's from 1987, so maybe she was refitted?

Thanks in advance...

Well,my encyclopedia says she is twin screw, so I think this means standard prop (could be mistaken) I think the cost of convcersion would be too much, especially as they need a generally flat area of the hull with shallow draft

I agree, she apparently has two cpp's rear (controllable pitch propellers), and two thrusters forward..
So she would have rudders..
