In the realm of maritime luxury, the quest to offer yacht charter guests the perfect night's sleep has become an art form, one which luxury bed and linen supplier, CC Design, has fully committed to.
Next month, DMS Holland will make their debut appearance at METS showcasing a unique roll damping system, AntiRoll, for the superyacht market sector.
AntiRoll is a roll damping system specifically designed for superyachts. Thanks to its unique, dual-axis fin stabiliser, which rotates whilst sailing and flaps at anchor, AntiRoll provides stabilisation both underway and at zero speed without any compromise of performance in either circumstance.
The curved, high-aspect ratio fin significantly reduces the drag by between 50 and 75% whilst sailing, which in turn has a positive impact on the fuel consumption. In addition, with the fin flapping at zero speed as opposed to rotating, a greater lifting force is generated providing a more stable platform.
Of particular interest for sail yachts, the fin is also retractable and can be partly folded back in to the hull. This leaves only minor resistance whilst sailing - a feature welcomed by sailing enthusiasts and which solves well known problems related to non-retractable fins. AntiRoll uses an innovative hybrid drive system resulting in relatively low power requirements.
Based upon research carried out at Marin, the system has been proven to be superior over traditional fin stabiliser systems. AntiRoll has already been granted a patent and is currently in the PCT-route for international patenting. The first application will be on a motor yacht currently being designed and built in The Netherlands.
More in-depth technical details and demo-models will be disclosed at METS held in Amsterdam next month, Superyacht Pavilion Stand nr 10.321.
