Yacht doors offer unparalleled access to the sea, transforming the way we experience yachting. With this luxury comes a challenge: ensuring the safety and stability of these floating platforms. Floating Door System is designed to minimize the stress placed on side doors by waves, enhancing safety and comfort for both guests and crew.
Large side doors, present unique engineering challenges. These doors are deployed using powerful hydraulic rams, and their pivot points are engineered to withstand the weight and forces they encounter during normal use. However, unexpected waves can disrupt the tranquility. When these waves impact the hull, they can cause the side door to lift suddenly, placing additional stress on the pivots and rams. This can lead to damage or even jamming of the door, creating a safety hazard.
The unpredictable movement of the door can make it difficult and potentially dangerous for guests and crew to use. Floating Door System addresses these challenges by creating a more stable and controlled environment for side doors. The system works independently of the main deployment system protecting the hydraulic rams and ensuring smooth operation. The system activates, allowing the door to move in sync with the waves. As the wave passes, the system gently lowers the door back into position, preventing sudden drops and minimizing stress on the components.
The system can be tailored to fit any side hull opening. A 3D render displayed on a tablet or bridge screen provides real-time information on the door's position and alerts. A position sensor prevents the system from activating until the door reaches a safe height, and a pressure sensor monitors system intervention, adding an extra layer of safety. The system can be retrofitted to existing yachts or incorporated during the design phase of new builds, making it accessible to a wide range of vessels.
These advancements will not only enhance the luxury and convenience of yachting but also prioritize safety
