SSS has an active IP strategy with a series of issued and pending patents in the U.S. and abroad. One important patent is for a sailing vehicle with the hull below the waterline (HORUSTM), significantly reducing drag, wake, and visual signature.
A second important patent is a Passive Wingsail Control Mechanism that sets the rigid wingsail at the optimal propulsion angle without using complicated, expensive, or vulnerable electronics, pulleys, or lines. Other issued and pending patents relate to the ability to submerge to hold position underwater, listen/monitor, and right a capsized multi-hull cargo vehicle underwater to return to the surface and continue the journey.
SSS has been awarded several SBIR funding and will work with partners to seek others.
SubSeaSail® was conceived by two engineers with a deep understanding of sailing engineering and principles. The original concept was a response to a request from a U.S. government agency for the long-distance delivery and release of an autonomous underwater vehicle. From there the company was founded in the summer of 2017.
Ryan is the Engineering Project Manager, leading the team for new design concepts internally and with outside vendors. He is an expert in SolidWorks and other CAD software and a long-time blue-water sailor.
