S-LINK™
S-Link™ is a CAN-based control system used for communication between Sleipner products installed on a vessel.
- Compact and waterproof plugs
- Keyed and color-coded connectors to ensure correct and easy installation
- Different cable lengths, extenders and T-connectors makes the system scalable and flexible to install

VECTOR FINS™
Vector Fins™ has a unique patented design that dramatically improves roll reduction while simultaneously reducing yaw and sway motions. Constructed with innovative layered vacuum injected vinyl ester compound covering pre-molded foam makes the Vector Fins™ lighter in weight than other fins on the market.
-
ANY SPEED
Vector Fins™ is the only top-performing stabilizer system for both cruising and at anchor use. The fins’ concave shape creates multilateral force direction improving the stationary positioning of a vessel while at anchor. The uniqueness of the design also becomes evident while underway as it improves in effectiveness as speed increases. Sea trials have proven that Vector Fins™ are up to 50% more efficient at anchor and capable of reducing the uncomfortable rolling motions of the vessel by up to 95% while cruising.

PATENTED DESIGN
Sleipner continually reinvests in developing and offering the latest technology in marine advancements. Patented products are revolutionary one-of-a-kind designs available and sold exclusively by Sleipner.
Item code: V3-900
The V3-900 fins are typically suitable for yachts in the 55 - 80ft range. Can also be configured in a 4-fin set up for larger yachts.

Vector Fins™ - significantly more effective
Vector Fins™, with their unique and patented design, direct their forces in a much more efficient direction than flat fins for roll stabilization. This benefits stabilization in anchoring and cruising situations.
The 3rd generation Vector Fins™ are significantly more efficient underway and at anchor compared to flat fins. The fins also create lift while cruising, reducing the drag of the boat’s hull. For faster boats, the lift from the fins results in improved fuel efficiency compared to flat fins. The fins consume less energy at anchor to achieve the same stabilization level as flat fins. By using the same energy, they stabilize more.
Practically speaking this means that:
- The top speed of the boat will be higher than with flat fin stabilizers
- You will use less fuel than with flat fin stabilizers
- You will consume much less energy from your generator or batteries to achieve the same stabilizing forces at anchor
Key advantages
-
Significantly more stabilizing forces and comfort at anchor
-
Effective stabilization from 0 to 40 knots
-
Improved speed and fuel efficiency
-
Dramatic reduction in known negative side effects with flat fins
Award-winning innovation
In 2013, Sleipner won the most prestigious award in the marine industry for inventing the Vector Fins™ stabilizers. The patented, curved shape fins improve every aspect of stabilization compared to flat fins.
Where flat fin stabilization systems waste energy creating unpleasant sideway movements of the boat, Vector Fins™ generates much more vertical forces, which in the end, is what works to stabilize the boat the most effectively.
The same size Vector Fins™ will have the ability to stabilize the yacht in larger waves, or it will stabilize better in similar waves. At anchor, it will feel more comfortable, which is what stabilization is all about, as the boat has less yaw and sway.
Vector Fins™ are the preferred choice of many of the world's leading boat builders, but they are also perfectly suitable to retrofit.
