Seakeeper 14
Vacuum-encapsulated gyroscopic anti-roll stabilizer for boats of approx. 55' - 68', with 14,000 N-M-S angular momentum at max rated speed.
Description
The Seakeeper 14 is a gyroscopic stabilizer that counteracts boat roll at rest and underway. It bridges the gap between the Seakeeper 10 and 18, and is 43% smaller and 33% lighter than the Seakeeper 18.
Inside a vacuum encapsulation the flywheel spins at up to 7,600 RPM. When the boat rolls, the gyro tilts fore and aft (precesses), producing gyroscopic torque to port and starboard that counteracts the roll.
Key features
- Ideal for boats of approx. 55' - 68'
- Angular momentum at max rated speed: 14,000 N-M-S
- Spool-up time to stabilization: 24 minutes (5,700 RPM)
- Operating power: 1,000 – 3,000 Watts (sea state dependent); power input 220 VAC @ 30 Amps (50/60 Hz, Single Phase)
- Weight: 1,757 lb (797kg); envelope 34.51 L x 37.28 W x 26.95 H (inches)
- Patented glycol/seawater cooling system and active control that adapts to sea state
- Installed internally, with no outside appendages
Applications
- New-build and refit installations on recreational, sportfishing and yacht hulls
