ULTIMATE SEAKEEPING
"There's a chance I may not be here today if it wasn't for your ballast system."
Andrew Flanagan
ROUGH SEA OPERATION
When a professional crew has a job to do, they often don't have the luxury of waiting for conditions to improve. For rescue and military crews, the ability to operate in all conditions is an absolute necessity, and can sometimes be a matter of life and death.
The Wavebreaker ballast system provides ultimate seakeeping capability, enabling crews to operate confidently and comfortably no matter what the sea throws at them.
HIGHER SPEED
We get it, taking on additional weight doesn't sound like a great way to increase your top speed - but concentrating the right amount of weight in the right place can offer incredible benefits to craft performance, including to speed.
Think of it this way; there's a reason that some of the most successful champion powerboat racers used our ballast systems, even at speeds well over 100 knots. By reducing bow lift and controlling trim properly, all of the craft energy can be spent going forwards, not upwards.
CONTROL LCG
Many professional vessels can be subject to an ever-changing payload, whether that's passengers or cargo. Giving the helm control over LCG allows them to compensate as necessary for fluctuations in weight, providing extra versatility.
This enables passenger craft to maintain full stability even when running light, without needing to shift passengers to the bow where the impacts would normally be the most severe.
