We aim to provide the best possible solution, and before proposing a
system, the overriding question we ask is ‘where do you want to be stabilised’ - at anchor, when cruising, at high speed or low speed?
CRN, Heesen, Benetti, Westport, Royal Hakvoort, Baglietto, Turquoise, Navetta and many others.
In addition to leisure marine, Naiad’s extensive workboat and military expertise requires a level of knowledge and understanding of stability few companies could replicate, in particular, for unusual hull types with niche purposes in mind.
“What sets us apart is our ability to provide motion control solutions for practically any type of hull from monohulls, catamarans and trimarans to advanced forms such as SWATH, SLICE, and even air cushion vessels,” says Naiad’s Charles Egan.
“Commercial crew-transfer vessels require life-saving levels of stability when crews are exchanging from offshore windfarms or drilling platforms. Likewise, when navies need to extend the operational effectiveness of vessels, they must ensure crews and ship personnel are as comfortable and as free from nausea as possible, often in sea conditions where no leisure marine vessel would ever be seen.”
When quizzed about how some of today’s technology is ‘bridging the gap’ between zero speed, slow speed and cruising speed stability, Charles said: “Simply put, fins are the one system that can provide very good roll control while at rest, as well as underway, and our systems have the benefit of lower installed weight and volume, as well as lower through-life cost of ownership.”
Maximising comfort onboard and the overall experience of charter guests, especially those new to the world of chartering is paramount and with an ever more informed pool of superyacht owners or potential owners entering the market, these stabilising solutions are under pressure to deliver comfort and to enhance the overall experience of being on a superyacht.
We expect to see even more solutions hitting the market over the coming years as more superyacht builders look to add these solutions as a ‘normal’ feature on a wider range of yachts.
There’s nothing for it, I must be getting old because I can still recall the days of popping stugeron tablets, while eating plenty of ginger biscuits and keeping my eyes fixed upon the horizon – folklore that is probably best consigned to the history books, or the next time my yachtie friends and I visit the pub.
