6.11 GYROSCOPIC STABILIZER

To reduce the annoying effect of the oscillatory motion of the roll, determined by the wave motion, a system has been installed consisting of two gyroscopic stabilizers able to generate a rotation equal and opposite to that of the waves. In fact, the system combines a significant reduction in roll both when the yacht is stationary and during navigation with low energy consumption that does not compromise the quality of life on board and leave the performance unchanged.

Thanks to these very important features, the device can be kept active even during the night to maintain greater comfort damping almost completely the annoying motion of roll.

Gyroscopic stabilizers are based on a know physical principle: a gyroscope tends to keep its axis of rotation vertical, parallel to the acceleration of gravity.

When an external cause intervenes to vary its position, such as the roll determined by the wave motion, it opposes with a rotation on an axis perpendicular to its own rotation axis and to that of the cause of the heeling.
In the case of gyroscopic stabilizers, this operation generated (roll) is attenuated by the presence of two dampers specially calibrated according to the characteristics of each yacht.

The system consists of a stabiliser positioned centrally in the system room under the garage.

CAUTION

Have the expected PERIODICAL INSPECTION conducted by qualified personnel every two years. Contact CUSTOMER SERVICE for more information.

WARNING

During operation, gyroscopic stabilizers, vibration dampers and their housing become hot. Touching the gyroscopic stabilizers may cause burning during operation.

DANGER

Gyroscopic stabilizers housing is not a solid component. If you lay objects or sit on the gyroscopic stabilizers, it may be damaged.

CAUTION

Gyroscopic stabilizers is not watertight. If it is submerged in seawater, it may be damaged.
