Our TRAC Stabiliser installers have been back over in Western Australia recently with two retrofit projects underway in Fremantle (they also managed to fit in a quick visit to Eden Park for some RWC action). O'Hana is an interesting project, upgrading a Sunseeker 82 to Zero Speed TRAC stabilisers. Sunseeker now fits TRAC stabilisers to most of the larger boats in their range when they are built new in the UK but there are many earlier models that were built before stabilisers were standard or optioned with Zero Speed. It is true that at full throttle when these boats get up on the plane, stabilisers are nice, but not absolutely essential. If you are blasting from one marina to another for lunch on the Cote d'Azur with the taps wide open (as the brochures suggest you will be) no problem. The Australian boating experience is a little different though. Passages between ports and fuel stops are long and to get the range to reach cruising grounds the boats must run at more economic delivery speeds, say 8 – 10 knots. That is where we come in, to make it a much more comfortable boat, with the roll eliminated at economic cruising speeds.
