EPISODE #26 "The Gyroscope"

After months and months of prep work to the hull, frames, bulkheads, and overall structure of the Queen, the gyro is lifted up and in the hold. This 3100 lb modern marvel will take a huge crane and several people to carry it safely from the ground and back into place...fitting onto the sea channel over the keelson and steel frame created to secure this mechanical tornado!
Jeff and Todd also give us a refresher course on boat stabilization.

With a almost three full story Wheelhouse i can understand as a "Old" guy the need for the technology of the Gyro and would love to test it one night while sleeping on board.

SS Nevasa had stabiliser fins and she was built in the 1950's!

I'm very curious about the Cork registration plate on the crane? I'm watching this from Cork by the way.
