Aegean EcoRun Project

Youtube video : Aegean EcoRun Project

12 Sept 2013 , our "EcoRun Aegean project" was held , with destination Santorini, with our new specialized vessel. entirely made of carbon fiber. The purpose of the project was to certify the vessel's ability to travel with extremely low fuel consumption and minimal pollutants.

Specifically, the vessel, which is six meters long, weighs only 145 kgr and is driven by a 30 horsepower motor, departed on Thursday at dawn from cape Sounion, accompanied by two boats with journalists.

Throughout the journey, four drivers took turns on the boat, two of the TRYGONS group and two from the group of journalists, who had the opportunity to thoroughly examine it at its departure.

It traversed about 105 miles with speed ranging from 18 to 22 knots and it consumed just 24 liters of fuel

next generation counterbalast system design

When it comes to safety, we at Trygons do not cut back at all. Three years ago, we designed, made and used a totally new concept in free-diving safety technology. Back then, we promised, and accomplished to organize a 214meter free-dive safer than a normal constants dive! A sonar, 2 powerful electric motors, 3 alternative lifting procedures, plus extreme sled speed, where all invented by Trygons for that purpose. At a breathless 4'20'', back then, everybody realized that our favorite sport can be pushed a lot deeper!

skandalopetra filming

Last year, Trygons organized a new "skandalopetra" freediving world record.

It was a very easy 107meter dive for Herbert. Although everything went ok, we where a bit disappointed with the footage. So, this year we came back, and installed a video camera on the stone! The actual footage will take some months to edit and will probably be out around September. But, Trygons has kept some testing footage, done with Italian Trygons diver Tomasso Buglioni:

Of course our new heavy duty 150m housing with Sony tx-7 was used.
