We’ve seen some cool tech in The Captain’s short history, but this digital gizmo just may be the best so far. Chris Thompson from RIDE is aboard the Veitch 23 to explain how it works. MB01XVUYX6VHL0A
Insane bit of kit. This will indeed make a huge difference in terms of comfort coming back from the shelf for all skippers. Not sure about Thommo's science and coke bottles....off camera it would have been a beer. 😝
trim the motors down a little and stop the purposing I will stick to my standard trim tabs anyone with an auto trim adjustment feature is a bonus but this was really exadurated. Unless the money is endless for whoever is planning on getting these tabs dont waste it. A gyro on the other hand would be mental the sea keepers seem like they would be mad.
the reason the boat rides bad with it off is because you dont have real trim tabs doing anything you can literally make your boat ride like that your self manually.
Lol. 5:58 Q: If ya going along and "EVERYONE" moves to one side of the boat. A: 🤔 ya fuckin yell at them and tell them to sit the fuc down 😂😅😅😂 Neat product; its pretty good as he said 👍
They are two completely different products. However, for the most stabilized vessel both at rest and underway, and the greatest performance available in boating today, you want both Seakeeper and Seakeeper Ride. The addition of a Seakeeper enhances the underway performance of Seakeeper Ride by an additional ~10-20% from our tests, so we suggest you go for both if you can!
Our testing found that Seakeeper Ride improves comfort and safety (eliminating pitch and roll motions) without negatively impacting speed or efficiency. In many cases, we have seen an increase in speed and fuel efficiency with Seakeeper Ride-equipped boats due to pitch reduction and resulting decrease in hull resistance.
A bit different. But the outcome is similar. Using lift to provide attitude adjustment. Zipwake has been on the market far longer and there's better support etc. Ride is a new product and only time will tell.
@@peterb3473That style trim tab has hundreds of kilos of force pushing against it while running at speed. Plus it moves up and down cuting through the water making many adjustments every second so that force is both pushing up and down on the tab constantly. Have you ever tried to stick your hand it the water going at lets say 35knots? It feels like concrete. So for those tabs being able to withstand that force while forcing the bow of a vessel weighing tons up and down and side to side is amazing. Im really curious to know what you think a person stepping on that will do?
