STABILISATION
GOLDEN ARROW MARINE Golden Arrow Marine are one of the longest standing marine engineering companies in the UK. With over 80 years of experience, their factory trained engineers have been travelling the world working on leisure and commercial yachts for leading marine brands such as Volvo Penta, MAN
and ABT-TRAC for decades. They are experts in ride control and stabilisation products and have been the approved sales and service provider for ABT-TRAC for over 18 years. They have been supporting Humphree as UK distributor since 2017 and more recently in 2021 Golden Arrow Marine became the UK Master Dealer for Smartgyro stabilizers which can be installed and serviced onboard the vessel with minimal downtime.

the swimming effect, and our current software version has a significant improvement already for the overall performance of the system in addition to the Vectors’ natural benefits causing less to start with. Our software is under constant development as we have seen how critical the control system is for overall performance. Our upcoming electric actuators can turn 360 degrees, allowing more flexibility to optimise the algorithm to counteract the aforementioned ‘swimming-effect’, but still we really focus mostly on avoiding to actually put the fins in the full ‘reverse position’ for practical reliability reasons, by experience we know that ‘Murphy never rests.’ ”
Paired together with latest improvements to Sleipner’s Vector Fins, this actuator/fin combo should be one to watch, at least if the pre-production statistics are anything to go by.
Intelligent functioning of a fin is not just down to the shape and profile of the structure. Of course it’s the algorithms in the software that determines how the fins react to the conditions and Ronny said, “Input data, timing, and the start and stop angle of each fin can be fine-tuned to reduce
SMARTGYRO Bringing seamless stabilization installation and maintenance benefits to the superyacht industry for the first time, Smartgyro is a technology specialist setting new design standards with its range of advanced gyroscopic stabilizers. The SG series feature a unique modular mechanical structure which enables the units to be serviced, maintained and assembled directly inside the yacht, reducing vessel downtime to ensure owners, guests and crew have more time on the water and enabling installation in boats with small access spaces. Further innovations within the control electronics, braking system, liquid cooling system, flywheel and vacuum enclosure effectively maximize roll reduction, performance and efficiency under every sea condition.

Dynamic Marine Systems (DMS Holland) have adopted an alternative approach with their stabilizer and roll-reducing solutions. Rather than championing one kind of technology over another, DMS have instead opted towards offering different products for different problems. Amongst their product inventory are gyros, fins and all manner of different systems, based upon the fact that hulls come in different shapes and sizes and are designed to cruise at vastly different speeds.
