STABLE AS A TABLE

Princess Y72 owners have a choice between the Seakeeper gyrostabil­izer and Sleipner Vector stabilizin­g fins. There is room allotted for the Seakeeper in the generator lazarette, but the Y72 I got aboard had the Sleipner fins for full roll control, even at top speed in rough water. The curved Sleipner fins are said to be 50 percent more efficient than flat fins and are efficient at anchor. The advanced hydrodynam­ic fin shape has less resistance, helping to reduce fuel consumptio­n.
