Fibrelite Boats

🛥 SMOOTH SAILING 🛥

When the owner of this beautiful Salthouse 68 realised he could maximise his enjoyment out on the water by reducing the roll of the boat; he approached Fibrelite Boats to help him to achieve this goal through the installation of an ABT - TRAC stabiliser system.

Installation was completed in 2 stages.

1️⃣ Initially work began strengthening the Hull with up to 50mm thick resin infused laminates and water tight compartments being installed in the actuator locations.

2️⃣ The second stage saw the stabilising fins and their actuators fitted along with hydraulic power packs and control systems installed into very confined areas.

The new stabilizer system was commissioned without fault and minimizes the roll of the boat remarkably whilst underway and at rest.

The owner and his family are now enjoying cruising the North West; and we are advised that the stabilisers are amazing! 👍🏼

⛵️Ronja's Journey⛵️

Having spent over 2 weeks at sea, we are happy (and relieved) to report Ronja has made it safely to Opua in the Bay of Islands, East Coast of New Zealand with a million stories to tell! ⭐️

With some hair raising experiences under her belt including hand-steering her boat into 60 + knots winds, battling 9m swells from all directions and surfing down 6m waves with water up to her hips; there were points in this adventure where in her own words she simultaneously experienced her biggest nightmare and biggest dream!

Having spent periods of up to 48 hours with no sleep or food battling severe weather conditions and storms, we hope Ronja gets some well deserved rest and hot meals inside of her! 🍴

A massive congratulations Ronja - in her early 20's this lady really is a force to be reckoned with! 👊🏽

It's the end of this adventure but we have no doubt that there will be many more to come! 👣
