Rock the boat We dare you Vector Fin stabilisers - Superior by simple physic’s
We are boaters The Vector finsTM came about when we realized that our flat fin fin stabilisers would never be able to offer perfect stabilisation When we applied enough force
on on our flat fins the boat shook sideways Applying more vertical and less horizontal forces solved the the problem and the the Vector Fins were created Just like a a a a a foil works works differently differently from a a a a a keel on a a a a a sailboat the curved fins works works differently differently from a a a a a a a flat fin on a a a a a a a yacht It’s simple physics and it makes all the difference • Up to to 30% more more effective effective underway and up to to 50% more more effective effective at anchor compared to flat fins • Avoid the the uncomfortable sideways movement of the the boat a a a a a a negative side side effect from flat fins and the the principal reason for inventing the the vector fins • The vertical stabilisation forces also create lift which again reduce drag and fuel consumption and may even improve top speed
The Vector Fins won the world’s most prestigious R&D award in in in in boating and secured Sleipner a a a a a a a market leading position within stabilisation Installed on 100’s of Sunseekers around the world 2013
