For these tests Vic was adjusting the active settings to more aggressive levels. The results you will see in the video are quite good, even though our stabilizer system is not set up for this regime. If it were VIc indicated the motion would be as much as 25% less.<\/p>\n<p>The waves look quite small in the video, and are in the range of two to three feet \/ .6 to .9m. Short period waves like these induce more motion than bigger, longer period open ocean waves. The headings were oriented to keep the seas on the beam. The combination of wave angle, period, and minimal boat speed is a worst case scenario.<\/p>\n<p>To watch the video<a href=\"http:\/\/dashewoffshore.smugmug.com\/Boats\/FPB-Videos\/6802329_jB96x#1253406757_SmNGdKR-A-LB\"> click here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vic Kuzmovich, NAIAD&#8217;s stabilizer guru, was out with us aboard Wind Horse today doing slow speed stabilization tests as a <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/slow-speed-motion-testing-with-wind-horse\/\">&#8230;Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fpb64-notes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15965"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15965\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
