Yacht Stabilization has come along way.  Yacht Stabilization is not about just roll control anymore.  Sea Legs controls all yacht motion at anchor and underway. Yacht Stabilization under all operating conditions!

 

Just about every prospective stabilizer customer addressed some of the concerns related to Sea Legs Brand Yacht Stabilizers .

1. Can they strike the bottom in shallow water or grounding?

Unlikely. They are located above the propeller.

2. Could they break away if overstressed?

They are engineered to break apart if loading on the hull from a catastrophic collision is a factor.

3. Do they cause drag?

One of the unique features of Sea Legs is the highly-efficient low-drag design shape.

4. Will the vessel use more fuel to compensate for drag?

The high lift-to-drag ratio makes increased fuel use unlikely if sized for efficiency.

5. Can they cause propeller cavitation due to disturbed water flow ahead of the propellers?

No. Unlike fin stabilizers, they are mounted behind the propellers. They increase the efficiency of shaft tunnel designs especially.

6. Do they require the relocation of some vessel systems?

Since they are not mounted in the hull, moving internal equipment is rarely involved.

7. Is there space in the engine compartment to mount the large actuators?

This is not a problem with Sea Legs transom-mounted hydrofoils.

8. Do they weigh a lot?

Most units are made with light-weight composites. The actuators are usually lighter than conventional roll-fin stabilizers.

9. Is there potential for expensive repairs at haulout?

Sea Legs have been designed to provide years of service with minimal maintenance.
