Boat roll
is uncomfortable, tiring, and probably the greatest cause of seasickness while onboard. Due to this a number of projects we have managed were to install stabilisers.
The most common retrofits are with Seakeeper gyro stabilisers, a device known as a Control Moment Gyro to exert a powerful righting force
that virtually eliminates boat roll. It has a flywheel that spins in a near vacuum, virtually
eliminating air friction, making for low power consumption and weight. Controlled
by state-of-the-art motion sensors and computer processors, the Seakeeper Gyro
is one of the more astonishing uses of technology to improve human comfort.
Installation
of the Seakeeper stabilizers requires reinforcement of the hull structure to
ensure that forces from the Gyro are properly transferred to the hull. We
provide the structural design and builder support necessary for the successful
installation of the stabilizers.
