Testimonials

Without wishing to go on for a lengthy period I would like to sum up the advantages of the system from our experience:

· Simple fitment process
There is minimal additional bits and pieces to secure to the vessel. In fact, in our case we only needed the topping lift eye bolt and the outrigger foot plate. The big advantage here is that there is no detraction from the boats appearance by having appendages and loose gear lying around all over the place. ...
· Ease of operation
The gear is neither difficult to handle nor excessively heavy. At one stage the ladies aboard set the gear up without difficulty.

· Effectiveness
Unquestionably, once the gear goes over the side it starts working immediately. The difference in roll period is substantially altered and the overall conditions aboard improve measurably.

· Safety
This is an automatic bonus of the system. As the vessel is quickly quietened down by the stabilizers influence, crew become less concerned with staying upright and are more relaxed which permits them to concentrate on their respective duties. Also during night anchor watches it is much easier to carry out an effective watch without having to continually hang on from being rolled about!

· Social
From a social point of view, the stabilizing effect creates a much more pleasant environment wherein one is not continually trying to catch and hold glasses, plates and the many other sundry items associated with everyday living aboard. Cooking of food over a hot stove becomes much safer and easier as does the serving and handling process.

· Pricing
When compared to any other type of stabilizer device available on the market, the Ocean Torque unit provides exceptional value for money with a very positive advantage relative to the boats performance as noted earlier.

As you are aware, we are directly involved in the marine industry with a substantial spread of experience in the many areas.

I would say without hesitation that the product as provided to our vessel is one of the best designed and most useful pieces of equipment we have experienced.

Further, without hesitation I would recommend any prospective purchaser of stabilizer equipment to seriously your system prior to committing to any other device.

Please do not hesitate to refer any interested party to me for a first hand discussion.

Many thanks for your assistance, advice and help during the setting up period. It was greatly appreciated.

I look forward to seeing your future developments in this area and wish you well for the future.

Kind regards,

...Our boat is a 10m purpose built aluminium sports fisherman which is used for drift fishing and social use. We were looking to increase the comfort level of both drift fishing and socialising on a mooring. Having purchased a stabilizing system, sight unseen from Ocean Torque, we were most impressed. The system has increased the comfort factor to the point that we use our boat a lot more and fish in weather that would normally have us back in the pen. A fantastic idea that far exceeded our expectations. Frank & Del Paton Perth WA

 

... I must tell you, our trips to the Barrier Reef will never be the same. The Blackwatch is so stable on anchor now, our wives are coming along too. We all think they're great. No more sea sickness. Rod Collins Mission Beach. N.Q.

 

... "Gentlemen they are fantastic! Everything that I could have hoped for.... I recommend Ocean Torque Stabilizers to anyone who wants to ensure that the new boat of theirs is as safe and comfortable as it should be. If you should ever wish to put an interested party in touch with a satisfied customer feel free to give them my number... ...Thanks Ocean Torque." Randy McCoy Mission Beach. N.Q.

..."A very noticeable dampening effect." "I know how much my boat would normally roll in these conditions." "They'll do me." Tony Elthrington Main Beach Queensland

 

... Just a few lines to express my delight in your stabilizer system. Its now been close on two years of trouble free use. Very impressive. As you know, I live aboard and the difference your stabilizers makes to the behaviour of my boat "40' spray" on anchor is in a word, exceptional! I assumed when I first saw your stabilizer system that it would make a difference to the roll of my boat, but I must say that the difference is much more than I would have expected. As a Ship Wright for 30 years and a cruising yachtsman for the last 15 years, I'd like to recommend your stabilizing system to anyone with a boat, motor or sail. Well done Ocean Torque.
