:: MEGA SAVINGS ON REVOLUTIONARY MARINE FUEL CELL

The world's first commercially available Marine Fuel Cell, the Max Power MFC100, has revolutionised on board energy generation. The unit eliminates the need to run the yacht's engine at idle, rely on loud wind generators, install large solar panels or banks of heavy batteries.

In fact, being highly compact and weighing just 8kg, it is ideal for smaller vessels and performance racing yachts. The BMW AC team has already embraced the technology, as have a number of other high profile racing boats.

Stephen Grafton, solo Transatlantic Race competitor and skipper of Amelie, writes in his diary under the heading ‘Equipment I'm really glad I've got' that: ‘...the Fuel Cell is brilliant. I haven't run the engine since Wednesday when I made some water. Just to be able to sail without a noisy diesel chugging way to keep the batteries topped up is just great.'

The MFC 100 can deliver up to 100Ah per day of clean 12 V DC power – suitable for electronics, refrigerators, microwaves, inverters and even some water makers.

The technology is state-of-the-art. Using a low temperature electrochemical process, liquid methanol is converted into electricity in virtually total silence and with minimal emissions. The unit can be easily installed in any dry, ventilated area, there is no need for an exhaust or cooling water inlets… and slippage isn't required for the installation.

It's little wonder that sales are rapidly climbing throughout the world and that the unit won the DAME design award at the Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS) in Amsterdam and Innovation Award at the Paris Boat Show.

The great news is that thanks to the success of the MFC 100, Australian distributor Oceantalk has reduced the price by over $3,500! Initially retailing at over $10,000, it is now $6,500 including GST. When you consider how much comfort, convenience and performance enhancement this will contribute to your boating - and when you consider the cost of alternative energy sources - this is an extremely attractive investment.
