Smartgyro announces new stabiliser for 55-65ft market

New at this year’s Metstrade show, Smartgyro has launched its SG60 unit, which is suitable for boats from 55ft to 65ft. This unit follows the launch of the new SG20, for boats from 45ft to 55ft, earlier this year. With further units under development, the strengthened SG series now consists of the SG20, SG40, SG60 and SG80 with a growing dealer network in place to supply to customers around the world.

Smartgyro stabilisers can be used on new builds and as retrofit options. The range comes unique to the market as the only gyro units that can be serviced, maintained and assembled directly inside the boat. With no need for the whole gyro to be shipped back to the factory for maintenance, the company says up-time on the boat is maximised, while builders benefit from new design opportunities and easier installation in vessels with small access spaces.

Sander Gesink, Smartgyro marketing director, says: “Following the recent launch of the SG20, we are pleased to announce that the next addition to the Smartgyro line-up is the SG60. The expansion of the range increases the options for boat builders looking for sophisticated solutions offering flexible design opportunities and easy installation. The variety of vessels now covered by our new portfolio also ensures that more boaters will be able to experience the unique benefits of our gyro stabilisers so they can maximise their time on the water and enjoy a positive onboard experience.”
