Does Quick Gyro perform when underway?

379 Views· 27/06/22

Q: You mentioned about using the Quick Gyro when the vessel is underway. As you know, the Quick Gyro is the only gyro in the world that spins the mass vertically, like a bicycle tyre, so it tends to, and we've had naval architects confirm, reduce the course deviation and track deviation with beams and following sea. But that's on paper! A naval architect took out all the instruments, he measured at a very significant production at least 20%; but what about you? You're driving the boat, you turn it on, you turn it off… A: As we know, real world testing is different on paper, but when I first got it, we mostly just used to turn it on when we got out fishing and started trolling, or turn it on at night-time on the reef when the boat started rocking. But now I pretty much turn it on before I leave the dock, particularly if it's going to be a little bit rough, because it performs so well while the boat's underway. So this cruises between 25 to 27 knots and I say down sea, beam on sea, you know at that speed it's hard to believe that it does work and it is so efficient. Don’t feel it as much at that speed, but it's noticeable, particularly down sea or cross sea or if you're running on autopilot - your variation and you're tracking is so much straighter and I believe the boat runs so much nicer with it. ...............................................................................
