Seakeeper 2

Vacuum-encapsulated gyroscopic anti-roll stabilizer for boats of approx. 30' - 36', with 2,000 N-M-S angular momentum at max rated speed.

Description

The Seakeeper 2 is a gyroscopic stabilizer that counteracts boat roll at rest and underway. Derived from the Seakeeper 3, it is 25% lighter and 20% smaller, and eliminates up to 95% of boat roll on boats of approximately 30-36 feet.

Inside a vacuum encapsulation the flywheel spins at up to 9,000 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. 30' - 36'
  • Angular momentum at max rated speed: 2,000 N-M-S
  • Spool-up time to stabilization: 19 minutes (6,750 RPM)

Applications

  • New-build and refit installations on recreational, sportfishing and yacht hulls
