Thousands of Powerboats and Sailboats for sale

GOSPORT, HAMPSHIRE UK - RingProp PLC has selected E.P. Barrus Ltd. to distribute the company's innovative ringed propeller line in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.

Established in 1917, E.P. Barrus has a close association with 400 marine dealers as well as exclusive service contracts with the RNLI and MoD. The company will employ its substantial technical experience to compliment RingProp's own testing program and help to create a selection guide for boat users in the UK. In addition, E.P. Barrus will be responsible for warehousing, distribution and sales.

"This appointment marks an important date in the development of RingProp offering not only the strongest possible partner to develop sales in the UK market but an expert capability for testing, advising and promoting the benefits of the RingProp technology," said RingProp PLC CEO Gary Mullins.

RingProp's patented design for outboard motors is a cost-effective response to growing concern about the safety and environmental impact of conventional, open-blade propellers. The integral ring around the blades offers a safer approach with no exposed blade tips. The unique ring ensures durability and strength and combats the fouling of ropes. The hydrodynamic design of the aluminum ring and blades provides increased thrust and reduces torque steer and ventilation, resulting in superior boat handling and maneuverability, while maintaining rapid acceleration.

Matt Sillifant, Marine Leisure Division Manager for E.P. Barrus, said "We are excited by the RingProp technology and the opportunities that this unique product presents. The product is a perfect compliment to our existing product range and an ideal extra profit opportunity for our dealer network".
