Captain's Locker is the Southern California dealer for Smartgyro, the Italian gyroscopic stabilizer maker backed by Yanmar. A gyro stabilizer cuts the side-to-side roll that makes a day offshore - or a night at anchor off Catalina - uncomfortable. Smartgyro's difference is its modular design: every unit can be assembled, maintained and serviced inside the boat, so there's no need to cut it out and ship it back to the factory.
• Serviced onboard. Modular construction means bearings and major components are maintained in place, cutting downtime and service cost.
• Fits tight spaces. Because units assemble inside the boat, they suit refits where access hatches are small.
• Efficient flywheel. A vacuum-sealed sphere reduces air drag and heat; an onboard pump restores vacuum automatically. Liquid cooling supports long bearing life.
• Underway and at anchor. Smartgyro claims up to 90% roll reduction at full flywheel speed.
• New builds and refits. Chosen by builders including Bluegame and Rio Yachts, and available as a retrofit for existing boats.
