So, you’re thinking about adding yacht stabilizers to add stability. But you’ve been worried that with the addition of stabilizers, you would see an increase in drag and decrease in speed from bulky stabilizers. While that is the case with hydraulic systems, and you could count on losing a knot or two or more of speed and see a reduced reaction time, there is another option. The Gyro-Gale option – air-operated boat stabilizer with cruiser fins, UHS fins, or tab-fins.
No matter your vessel specs, we have a customizable stabilization system to perfectly suit them for optimal performance. Our cruiser fins are perfect for trawlers up to 16 knots. Our UHSs, or ultra high speeds, work on vessels over 18 knots with no maximum speed yet discovered. And our tab-fins, providing three times the lift of a traditional fin matched in size, can work on any vessel no matter what speed.
Air-Operated Stabilizers Are the Best Aftermarket Stabilizers Money Can Buy
Air-operated / air-powered stabilizers are far better than any hydraulic stabilization system you could buy, even the top-dollar, highest quality ones. Air power is so much cleaner than hydraulic power, as you don’t have to worry about oil leaks, which are very harmful to the environment. Worst case scenario with air power is that you may have a slow air leak, which does not cause any harm.
Air also uses less energy and produces less heat. Their lightweight design helps to optimize fuel efficiency. Air-powered stabilizers work efficiently and swiftly to keep the ride safe and pleasant. And they are very easy to maintain, with as little as maintenance every two years (or at 400 hours if that comes sooner.)
You Don’t Need a Hull Surveyor to Determine Whether Air Stabilizers Will Fit Your Vessel
Generally, a marine surveyor is needed to assess your vessel to determine whether your stabilization system will fit the hull, and if so, what modifications it will need to comply with safety standards and other specifications.
However, air-powered equipment is much more compact than their hydraulic counterparts, so you won’t need large-scale modifications that require a navel architect’s expertise. In fact, in one vessel we evaluated, only a desk and a couple dresser drawers needed to move to fit our system’s enclosure. It was exciting to see that the boat wouldn’t lose any space, have to relocate equipment, or do any reconfigurations at all whatsoever.
With our pneumatic stabilizers, there’s no worrying about whether your hull can handle the equipment or shelling out a lot of money for a survey, modification plans, reinspection, and materials. Not to mention time wasted without getting to enjoy your vessel out on the water.
Air-Powered Stabilizers Don’t Steer Your Boat
Trying to control roll with hydraulic stabilization while you’re steering your boat can feel anything but productive, as the stabilizers, acting similar to your rudders, try to overtake the steering. And sure, you can put it on autopilot, but then you have to worry about directional and vertical stability. With pneumatic fin stabilizers though, autopilot is exactly what it should be – easy, with minimal work for the captain, and no worrying about overcorrection.
Enjoy Less Roll and an Outstanding Performance Every Time From Pneumatic Stabilizers for Boats
Tired of the rock and roll when you’re out on the open sea? The drag created by hydraulic stabilization systems? Improve your vessel’s performance with air-powered gyro stabilizers from Gyro-Gale. Our proprietary design helps you and your guests you bring aboard enjoy every moment.
Our stabilizers are much smaller than hydraulics, allowing you to fit them on smaller vessels, and to have them installed without worrying about losing speed. You no longer have to trade knots for stability. Call us today at 772-283-1711 for more info about our innovative air operated boat stabilizers.
