Gillen Yacht Services announced as US dealer for Smartgyro
Florida-based Gillen Yacht Services has been announced as one of the first dealers in the USA to sell and install Smartgyro gyroscopic stabilisers.
The new dealership is the latest partnership to be confirmed by marine gyro stabilisation technology specialist Smartgyro as the company extends and strengthens its global distribution network.
Gillen Yacht Services is a family owned and operated business offering a range of yacht repair, service and refit solutions, and will focus on raising awareness about Smartgyro gyro stabilisers and installing the current SG40 and SG80 units in boats over 48ft.
The design of the Smartgyro SG series incorporates features which, the company says, reduce downtime for the vessels and enhance onboard comfort and experience for boat owners, crew and family.
According to Smartgyro, the stabilisers can be assembled inside the boat and serviced while onboard, minimising time spent on maintenance, creating new design opportunities for builders, and increasing the potential for installation in vessels with small access spaces.
Offering a lower spool-up time to stabilisation, the Smartgyro unit makes fewer revolutions per minute extending bearings’ lifetime.
Dave Gillen, president of Gillen Yacht Services, says: “Smartgyro has solved many of the problems found in current gyro stabilisation systems which should provide vastly superior customer satisfaction over the long haul.”
