Gillen Yacht Services, Inc. has been announced as one of the first dealers in the United States to sell and install the new Smartgyro gyroscopic stabilizers. The Smartgyro SG series incorporates unique features and technological advancements within its design to reduce downtime for the vessel and enhance onboard comfort and experience for boat owners, crew, and family.

Gillen Yacht Services will use its engineering and technical expertise to focus on raising awareness about Smartgyro gyro stabilizers with customers and executing installations of the current SG40 and SG80 for boats over 48ft.

Offering a lower spool-up time to stabilization than similar products, the Smartgyro unit makes less revolutions per minute to extend bearings’ lifetime. The SG range also features cutting-edge developments within the control electronics, braking system, liquid-cooled system, and vacuum enclosure to maximize roll reduction, performance and efficiency.
