Seakeeper Ride
Seakeeper Ride is the first-of-its-kind Vessel Attitude Control System ( VACS ) that eliminates up to 70 % of underway pitch and roll motions that often cause uncomfortable pounding or slamming . Seakeeper Ride controllers are mounted to your boat ’ s transom , below the waterline . Using custom , proprietary inertial sensing hardware and software , the system understands how the boat is behaving in all three axes and commands deployment of the rotary blades at a rate of up to 300 mm / second to counteract pitch , roll , and yaw . In just one second , Seakeeper Ride ’ s sensors take 1,000 measurements , driving its proprietary , rapid-deployment rotary blades to make 100 adjustments to combat wave motions . As the blades are deployed , they intercept the flow of water off the transom and create lift , managing the vessel ’ s motion instantaneously .
