Veitch 23 console fitted with RIDE

We’ve seen some cool tech in The Captain’s short history, but this digital gizmo just may be the best so far. Chris Thompson from RIDE is aboard the Veitch 23 to explain how it works.

So, they’re trim tabs??

[@ih8ubarney322]

Yep, but they are reactive trim tabs 😅 looks cool tho

[@chriscunningham3324]

$8k trim tabs

This is NOT a fancy trim tab system. Is LITERALLY a fancy trim tab system.

[@trogdortheburninator8149]

Why does it seem that these Veitches don’t ride properly without multiple stabilisation systems?

[@raggamuffin1985]

27° dead rise would probably cover most of it

[@jacktelford5500]

Ride perfectly fine without em. All of these systems will enhance any boat and if you’ve got the means to put them on ya boat why wouldn’t you

[@smithys3512-lg5yx]

Too much deadrise, too little length and beam. In my opinion when running they look unbalanced.

@@smithys3512-lg5yx The hull in the video is the old 26 degree design, Roger's refined 23 degree hull is far more balanced.

Double the price of zipwake 😢

[@sfseeker5995]

looks like a great system. how does it compare to Zipwakes, principle seems very similiar?

[@amcboats4756]

Insane bit of kit. This will indeed make a huge difference in terms of comfort coming back from the shelf for all skippers. Not sure about Thommo's science and coke bottles....off camera it would have been a beer. 😝

[@ChrisThompson-gd1kz]

Was definitely some Seakeeper Ride Lager involved in the making of this video ;)

[@problemsolvers2547]

trim the motors down a little and stop the purposing I will stick to my standard trim tabs anyone with an auto trim adjustment feature is a bonus but this was really exadurated. Unless the money is endless for whoever is planning on getting these tabs dont waste it. A gyro on the other hand would be mental the sea keepers seem like they would be mad.

[@zeiwow0]

the reason the boat rides bad with it off is because you dont have real trim tabs doing anything you can literally make your boat ride like that your self manually.

[@waynebrown6962]

impressive. 8K fitted ??

[@Chris-xt7rs]

Veitch...what a beautiful boat, a dream boat for many.

[@Engineeringcam]

These guys are ahead of the game. Seakeeper are killing it

[@grantm1891]

5k and I’m in. Better stick to zipwakes

[@Fuzzy1998]

How much would a 23 console cost?

[@loganjeffries4542]

There not cheap I got quoted almost 12k for a 6m Haines

[@jb243wp]

Lol. 5:58 Q: If ya going along and "EVERYONE" moves to one side of the boat. A: 🤔 ya fuckin yell at them and tell them to sit the fuc down 😂😅😅😂 Neat product; its pretty good as he said 👍

[@peterb6408]

It didn't even keep the boat level either haha

[@obgmax1429]

Didn’t this boat already have a gyro seakeeper ? How do they work together?

[@SeakeeperInc]

They are two completely different products. However, for the most stabilized vessel both at rest and underway, and the greatest performance available in boating today, you want both Seakeeper and Seakeeper Ride. The addition of a Seakeeper enhances the underway performance of Seakeeper Ride by an additional ~10-20% from our tests, so we suggest you go for both if you can!

[@Wilso94]

soo zipwakes

[@brendoncalvo6007]

Is that price fitted ?

[@mrcrankyank]

Stunning boat 🙌🏽

[@chrisedmondson6622]

Would love to know how this affects fuel economy?

[@SeakeeperInc]

Our testing found that Seakeeper Ride improves comfort and safety (eliminating pitch and roll motions) without negatively impacting speed or efficiency. In many cases, we have seen an increase in speed and fuel efficiency with Seakeeper Ride-equipped boats due to pitch reduction and resulting decrease in hull resistance.

[@clinty51]

I feel Yamaha will be upset with the name :)

[@C3c1l]

Too much money.. i stick to zipwake

[@grimreefrr8820]

Like zipwake?

[@alexbai1865]

A bit different. But the outcome is similar. Using lift to provide attitude adjustment. Zipwake has been on the market far longer and there's better support etc. Ride is a new product and only time will tell.

[@smithys3512-lg5yx]

Pretty much, trim tab actuator in hindsight that reacts quicker is the only major difference I can spot

[@alexbai1865]

They're also glued onto your hull.

[@geeeyejones9277]

[@peterb3473]

First dummy to stand on it , you know the rest.👎🏻

[@thebuonocore9818]

​@@peterb3473That style trim tab has hundreds of kilos of force pushing against it while running at speed. Plus it moves up and down cuting through the water making many adjustments every second so that force is both pushing up and down on the tab constantly. Have you ever tried to stick your hand it the water going at lets say 35knots? It feels like concrete. So for those tabs being able to withstand that force while forcing the bow of a vessel weighing tons up and down and side to side is amazing. Im really curious to know what you think a person stepping on that will do?

[@HansGruber006]

Fully continuously variable automatic real time trim tabs that adjust 1000 times a second.....WoW We.
