Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of the converted fishing trawler *Brupeg* completes a decade-long project to design, fabricate, and install custom aerofoil stabilizer wings to reduce vessel roll.0:07 The installation involves welding steel mounting points to the hull and deck, fabricating stainless steel arms, and implementing a winch system to deploy the wings.0:55 To secure the wings in the deployed position, the team fabricates a stainless steel locking pin mechanism that prevents the wings from shifting or vibrating against the hull.2:06 During sea trials, the crew deploys the wings while anchored and underway at 8.5 knots.24:59 Despite minor spray and a 0.3-knot reduction in top speed, the stabilizers significantly dampen the boat's motion in quartering seas.31:08 The team plans a future hydraulic system upgrade to increase the deployment speed of the wings, which currently rely on a temporary drill-driven winch.30:49 The stabilizers transform the vessel's stability, confirming that the wings effectively eliminate the rolling motion that previously made the boat uncomfortable in moderate sea states.31:19
