Vector Fin stabilizer at Seawork

The Jury said: “Sleipner Motor has thought out of the box to produce a fin that better suits many of the modern hull forms to which stabilisers are becoming a standard fit. The elegant curved shape of the fin beneficially directs force to improve roll reduction and decrease the side effects of yaw and sway. It also increases the leverage arm around the vessel’s rolling point and minimises drag.”

Accepting the Award, the inventor of the product, Ronny Skauen, added: “Product development is at the very core of Sleipner. With the new and more efficient design of the Vector fin, we believe this is not only an important product for us, but for the industry as a whole.”
