Stop the Rock! Do power catamarans benefit from a Seakeeper?

Ever wondered if a Seakeeper is truly necessary on a power catamaran? In the first episode of our "Beyond the Bow" series, we're breaking down the myths and misconceptions about stabilizers and multihull designs. We're joined by Shane Grover, Makai's Co-Founder and Managing Director, who explains why systems like Seakeeper are redundant on the revolutionary Makai M37 power catamaran. While gyroscopic stabilizers like Seakeeper are essential for improving the ride and stability of monohull boats, we're going to show you why they are unnecessary on the Makai M37. 🌊 The Stability Advantage of Catamarans The need for a gyro stabilizer is almost entirely negated by the Makai M37's fundamental design: Inherent Stability: Catamarans naturally possess a far greater degree of initial stability compared to monohulls due to their wide beam and twin-hull design. The distance between the hulls acts as a massive stabilizing lever . This makes the Makai M37 incredibly stable both underway and at rest—something Shane details in the video. Reduced Rolling Motion: A monohull uses a Seakeeper to counteract its tendency to roll, especially when drifting or anchored. The Makai M37's hull form already resists this rolling motion significantly, leading to a much more comfortable and level platform right out of the factory. A Smoother Ride: The Makai M37's advanced hull design cuts through waves, providing a soft and predictable ride. We discuss how this design approach, combined with the inherent beam stability, negates the need for an active stabilization system. 💰 Why Skip the Seakeeper? Choosing a catamaran with natural stability over a monohull requiring active stabilization offers several major benefits: Lower Cost: Eliminating the cost of the unit, installation, and associated wiring/batteries saves you a significant investment. Weight Savings: Seakeeper units are heavy! Removing this weight from the boat contributes to better fuel efficiency and superior performance. Zero Maintenance: No complex machinery means no annual servicing, no power draw at anchor, and one less system to worry about on your off-grid adventures. If you're looking for a smooth, stable ride without the added complexity and expense of a gyroscopic stabilizer, the Makai M37 is engineered to deliver that comfort naturally.
