For many in the industry, the substantial advancements in control technology over the last two decades have not gone unnoticed. These changes are perhaps most obvious from a design perspective, and particular improvements can be identified both in the hydrodynamic designs of fins and rotors and in the development of intelligent control systems that harness the latest technological and scientific developments (such as computational fluid dynamics).&nbsp;The experts at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum Marine Stabilizers</a> have engineered and manufactured marine stabiliser systems for over thirty years and have revolutionised the marine industry by creating unprecedented roll control for maximum comfort both at anchor and underway. The success of this increasingly intelligent technology will soon be seen on board the 70-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/303" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Freedom70.1m (229'12&quot;)Benetti SpA1999">Freedom,</a>&nbsp;which will feature the first-ever Dyna-Foil™ stabilisation system from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> once she emerges from her year-long refit works which are being carried out in the US and set for completion at the end of 2019.

What is control technology? The controls can be seen as the “brains” or proprietary algorithm that enables guests, owners and crew to benefit from increased stability at sea by automatically sensing changes in the vessel’s motion and sending real-time and adaptive signals to the stabiliser system. This data is then used by the stabiliser system, along with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a>’s proprietary software, in order to determine and direct the optimal fin activity to reduce the vessel’s roll.&nbsp;There are many factors which can influence the commands or movement directives sent to the stabiliser system, including wave pattern, vessel speed, roll period, metacentric height (GM, or the measurement of the initial static stability of a floating body), gross tonnage and the hull design or profile of the yacht. Each stabiliser control package includes a main control and interface, a local control module and a roll sensor. <img src="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/uploads/store/photo/101000/image/large-b9b54e6c32efc4c09954bf5fd841fb84.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/101000"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a>&nbsp;USA Headquarters - Ft.

It consists of a single unit which houses the main control circuitry and the operator interface and is compact, simple and rugged in its design, with traditional push-buttons and knobs on the controller that provide direct and immediate feedback on the overall system’s condition and performance.For optimal ease of access, the control head is mounted in the bridge, with an LED display for fin activity and a dimmable display ideal for navigation at night. The ARC3000 control programme can be operated both automatically and manually and collects roll motion data and immediately initiates feedback to produce a corrective response. <img src="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/uploads/store/photo/100973/image/large-0d6b029b70992118ee1e51c56367e3a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/100973">Glass Bridge&nbsp;&nbsp;Option 2: ARC3001&nbsp;As the enhanced version of the ARC3000, the ARC3001 controller was specifically designed for use by fin stabilisers with Zero Speed™ capabilities. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/100993/image/large-be7f60958259f49a966356b401939cd8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/100993">ARC3001 Control Screen&nbsp;Option 3: SMC4000For <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum Marine</a>, the importance of digital technology lead to the creation of the SMC4000 - the company’s technologically advanced and most popular model to date. These SMC (Ship Motion Control) stabiliser controls consist of a control box, control boards and circuitry and a touch-screen operator interface.&nbsp;This model is perfectly designed for underway and Zero Speed™ stabilisation, as the algorithms can use the necessary parameters to rapidly comprehend vessel roll motions and initiate a response to optimise roll reduction.<img src="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/uploads/store/photo/100997/image/large-16919687d51de36dc69927744e6acc20.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/100997">&nbsp;SMC4000 - MAGLift™ Rotor Control&nbsp;The SMC4000 can be integrated with the ship’s glass bridge and offers a touch-screen panel with an HMI (Human Machine Interface) control that can be completely blacked out to minimise disturbances during night operations. The control collects the ship’s speed and data through the NMEA 0183 interface and the ship motion control system functioning via ethernet. In addition, the control box and operator touch-screen can be installed separately for maximum flexibility and convenience, with the control box not needing to be installed on the bridge. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/100998/image/large-dff7288bdf191051a6f73c1cb1337960.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/100998">SMC4000 - XT™ Fin Control - Underway Manual<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a>’s Local Control ModulesIn control systems such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a>’s, the output from the main stabiliser control is directed to a nearby local control module which compares the activities of its corresponding stabiliser unit with what is required by the main control, thus ensuring deviations are corrected rapidly. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> offers three different types of local control modules:&nbsp; Option 1: FCM - Fin Control Module This conventional, analogue local control module requires minimal or no user interaction and is designed to automatically accommodate for any activity.

Moving downwards, the bridge deck aft can be set up with sun loungers, the owner’s deck offers inside /outside dining, and the main deck aft has further dining and lounging facilities. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133606/image/large-3f18de50930291069c2f5429c059d7f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133606">Internally, her six decks (all united by a lift) include one that is largely devoted to the owner. This includes a master suite that revels in a magnificent bedroom with panoramic forward views over the private terrace, sumptuous his and hers bathrooms and vast walk-in dressing rooms. The deck also offers two further family cabins (each with a double and a single bed), a study, an owner's saloon and a circular inside-outside dining room. Of the remaining guest cabins, four are identically sized double cabins with en suite bathrooms situated on the lower deck and an impressive VIP cabin, which occupies the forward element of the main deck superstructure. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133607/image/large-1d9b110323d74f52cc99ed58864d0ddf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133607">Elsewhere Reverie boasts a main deck saloon; study lounge; a sumptuously decorated dining room as well as a more relaxed, stone-lined ‘pizza parlour’, conference room; hairdressing &amp; beauty salon; steam room; massage room, and a lavishly equipped gymnasium that would meet the needs of a city health club. With facilities such as these it is unsurprising that the yacht requires 27 crew to manage everything. Water sports are another of Reverie’s strengths and she offers a pair of tenders – a 10.5 custom-built ‘dress tender’ and a 7m Nautica RIB – a Laser Pico; three Yamaha GP1300R Waverunners; two Ocean Malibu kayaks, and a host of windsurfers and towed toys, plus trampoline, snorkelling equipment and scuba gear.

Benetti’s Reverie in Gibraltar

Knight &amp; Carver YachtCenter, which has emerged in recent years as one of the marine industry’s top-rated repair yards for megayachts and other large vessels, has been honored by the American Boat Builders &amp; Repairers Association (ABBRA) as the nation’s most outstanding boatyard for 2007. The organization’s annual “Boatyard of the Year” award is made annually to the U.S. vessel repair company that, according to the citation, “demonstrates excellence in all facets of business through commitment to customer relations, quality management, positive employee and vendor relationships, regard for the safety of their employees and their customers, is a good steward of the environment, and innovatively employs technology to enhance their marine business.” Accepting the prestigious marine-industry award on behalf of Knight &amp; Carver at the recent ABBRA awards ceremony in Atlanta were repair yard manager Mike Alvarez and production manager Giovanni LoCoco. “This award marks a significant achievement in our company’s long and accomplished history,” said President/CEO Sampson A. Brown. “We couldn’t be more proud of our entire team, led by our skilled and highly experienced marine craftsmen. It’s their painstaking, hands-on devotion to excellence, along with our company-wide commitment to completing projects on-time and on-budget, that has become Knight &amp; Carver’s signature within the industry.” <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124009/image/large-966782e93b18b750c4380549306aef81.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124009">Next up for Knight &amp; Carver is <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/900">Arctic P</a> (photo), a 288-ft. converted icebreaker that ranks high among the world’s 100 largest megayachts.
