There is a device that can be installed on virtually any boat longer than 7 meters to eliminate seasickness. Not only that, Seakeeper ‘s gyroscopic stabilizer is a solution that can eliminate up to 95 percent of the roll-while underway and when the boat is stationary-while also significantly improving the performance of the boat on which it is installed. To understand what it is like to be on a stabilized boat, there is nothing better than to try it out. There is an opportunity to do it for free this summer!
SEAKEEPER SUMMER DEMO TOUR 2023
The opportunity to try out and touch Seakeeper’s stabilizers is the Summer Demo Tour 2023 organized from August 4 to 15 at various landings inElba Island and Sardinia.

Seakeeper – How a gyroscopic stabilizer works
The gyroscopic stabilizers produced by Seakeeper can eliminate up to 70% of the roll by boat. At the center of the system is a sphere, inside of which is a vacuum flywheel that can achieve more than 9,700 revolutions per minute. An electronic system reads the boat’s roll, after which it tilts back and forth produces a gyroscopic torque opposite to the force to be resisted. Comfort and sailing performance can only benefit from the installation of these systems, both when sailing and when stationary.
How much does it consume and on which boats can it be installed
The gyro stabilizer can be had on virtually any boat, whether new or used, with a minimally invasive installation. Electricity consumption is low, and the stabilization system can be controlled intuitively from the touch screen control panel that can be installed on the dashboard. Seakeeper systems are diverse and are suitable for vessels between 23 feet (about 7 meters) and more than 85 feet (over 25 meters) in length.
For those interested in trying out the system during the Summer Demo Tour 2023, please remember to contact the organizers: here is the information. For more information about the system itself, on the other hand, visit the manufacturer’s website.
