Marine stabilisation manufacturer Seakeeper Inc., has announced the release of its latest model, the Seakeeper 3, designed specially for boats between 30- and 39-feet long.

The Seakeeper 3 is the smallest and lightest Seakeeper unit yet and the first to run exclusively on 12-volt DC power with no need for a generator or AC input.

“The Seakeeper 3 is an exciting next step in our ongoing goal to bring stabilisation to the boating mainstream by offering our innovative technology on smaller and smaller vessels,” said Andrew Semprevivo, Seakeeper’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
“By offering an optimised solution for boats between 30- and 39-feet long, Seakeeper is offering stabilisation solutions to a whole new range of boats for the first time. It truly is our biggest, smallest thing yet.”.

The Seakeeper 3 builds on innovations that began with the Seakeeper 5, furthering the company’s commitment to bringing stabilisation to the small boat market

This model is 25 percent smaller and 30 percent lighter than the  5, and it’s the first stabilisation unit optimised and streamlined for 30 to 39 foot boats.
It features a newly designed touch screen control panel with an intuitive user interface — allowing users to capture real-time performance information. It is also the lowest priced model in the product line.
The easy installation of the Seakeeper 3 removes another barrier for boaters with smaller vessels. With a customised leaning post design, the refit process can be as simple as swapping out the leaning post. No major structural modifications are required when installing it, and the unit can be installed and ready to use in just two days.

The Seakeeper 3 will be unveiled at the 2016 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, running from November 3 – 7.
Orders for this new model can be placed now and shipping will begin in Spring 2017.
