The Stabilis Electra, the revolutionary system stabilizer fins with electrical actuator – studied, developed and patented by CMC Marine, is confirmed as a product of great interest to the recreational boating and luxury yacht market. In fact, since the first system installation in June 2010 on a San Lorenzo 82 motor yacht, a remarkable 20 systems have been ordered from superyacht shipyards. The twentieth system was signed by the Dutch shipyard Moonen for the new Moonen 82 Alu motor yacht.
Moonen Yachts choose Stabilis Electra by CMC Marine
After Sanlorenzo, Benetti, Dominator, and Cantiere delle Marche, the well-known Dutch shipyard Moonen has also chosen the Stabilis Electra. The selected stabilization system for the 25m aluminum yacht 82’ Alu, Moonen is building at its Hertogenbosch yard, in the Netherlands, is the Stabilis Electra with 1.00 sqm fin. This is the twentieth electrical stabilization systems CMC Marine has received the order for since when, in June 2010, the first system was commissioned, tested and verified together with Sanlorenzo shipyard on a new SL82. After that system, the Ameglia based shipyard continued to work with CMC Marine by ordering seven more electrical systems for luxury yachts from 72 to 108 feet. Simultaneously, the Benetti shipyard chose Stabilis Electra for its new model range, the Delfino 93 motor yacht, officially presented for the first time at the Cannes Boat Show 2010, confirming the choice for the following sisterships.
The Stabilis Electra stabilizers are the first stabilization system in the world to be actuated with an electrical motor instead a traditional hydraulic system and are an international patent of CMC Marine srl (European patent p. 2172394 and U.S. Patent p. 12/571842). The electric actuator advantages compared to a traditional hydraulic system are many and can be briefly summarized as follows:
- Higher rotation speed which greatly improves the stabilization anchor
- No significant loss of power that means the need of installed power is lower
- Significant reduction of the absorbed power (even more than 50%)
- Reduced weight of the actuator
- Reduced volumes
- High reduction of the system noise
- Easier installation with the consequent drastic reduction for the shipyard in installation cost and times.
- High system reliability
- Simplified maintenance.
Today the consolidated range of Stabilis Electra consists of two models, the 18BR for boats from 24 to 35 meters and 16BR for boats from 18 up to 24 meters that was recently presented and already installed on two Sanlorenzo SL72 motor yachts. The larger models are being drawn up, for applications on superyachts from 35 meters up.
The range STABILIS ELECTRA is perfectly integrated with the established range of products of CMC Marine, which includes a full range of hydraulic stabilizer fins, named STABILIS MECHANICA, with fins ranging from 0.75 to 4 square meters and the series Dualis, hydraulically or electrical dual counter-rotating propellers thrusters with power ranging from 35 to 130 kW.
