HUMPH REE® Trim and Stabilisation systems NEXT GENERATION

WHEN EFFICIENCY AND PERFORMANCE REALLY MATTERS! Humphree proudly presents the new HCS-5 The HCS-5 combines exceptional mechanical quality with electronic control including motion sensors and world class brushless servo motors to provide instant and exact response to the hull dynamics! Adding the fine-tuned boat control options Automatic Trim, Automatic List, Coordinated Turn or Active Ride Control will result in optimum comfort and performance regardless if the captain is a seasoned expert or a less experienced operator. We just brought boat control to a new level, welcome to the future!...

Control Panel - Large colour screen readable in sunlight - Night mode available - Easy and intuitive to operate Swedish based Humphree, founded in 2002 is today the world’s leading manufacturer of Interceptors or “super tabs” as some choose to call them. They are used for trim and stabilisation of semi-planing and planing hulls. Humphree is leading the way with new automatic functionalities developed by our dedicated team of marine engineers, hydrodynamic experts and boat operators for a single purpose; to provide the very best in hull dynamics and boat control. An increasing number of...

Humphree Interceptors Interceptors in general are an efficient device to optimise running trim for low wave resistance, reduced fuel consumption and improved performance. The Humphree Interceptor has a low weight and a robust design. It is suitable for both mono hull and catamaran application, in planing and semi-planing speeds. The installation is easy, with a minimum of pre-work needed, and with low maintenance due to the corrosion free ­ aterials and simple design. Interceptors are powered by a watertight, state of the art electric actuator, m placed on the inside of the transom for easy...

Humphree Interceptors Interceptor Series The Extended Interceptor series uses a blade deployment of maximum 75 mm and is offered in sizes from 750 mm to 1500 mm widths. This makes them useful for boats ranging from approximately 60 ft. and larger and ­ appropriate for both planing and semi-planing hulls. ­ The Extended series are especially suitable when the space available is limited and much stern lift is required. The additional lift force generated by the Extended Interceptor is also preferred for maximum performance with Active Ride Control. Interceptor Series Custom shaped to fit any...

Humphree Boat Control Systems The true potential and sensation of the Humphree system is provided through a number of automatic control options. Designed to meet the high demands from boat builders working with the cutting edge of technology to improve performance, comfort and fuel efficiency. The control panel offers the operator a single interface to control any Humphree Boat Control System, from the Basic version to our most advanced options. Simple and intuitive operation via illuminated touch buttons and a large colour display. All control systems includes a GPS for automatic retract...

Humphree Boat Control Systems Boat Control System Automatic List Control Uneven loading, cross winds and varying conditions will normally cause the boat to list. When running in a straight course, Automatic List Control will correct the boat list to a preset target list angle, usually zero degrees. This can be changed by the operator to intentionally list the boat. When the boat enters a turn the system will allow the boat to heel naturally during the turn and once the boat has left the turn the system will continue to correct the boat to the preset target list angle. Automatic List Control...

Humphree Boat Control Systems Boat Control System Active Ride Control While operating in open seas boats are constantly exposed to waves that will cause roll and pitch motions resulting in reduced comfort on board. With Humphree Active Ride Control system the Interceptors are instantly actuated to provide lift which counteracts these motions and at the same time optimises the running trim and list angle - all in one system. The system includes a Ride Control Unit (RCU) which consists of an advanced digital controller with unique adaptive control algorithms and an advanced sensor package...

Humphree Boat Control Systems Boat Control System Interceptor Steering Assistance Water jet powered boats experience significant power losses when deflecting the complete thrust force to steer the vessel. These power losses results in higher fuel consumption and speed loss during the turn but with Humphree Interceptor Steering Assistance this can be avoided. Deploying a few millimetres of Interceptor generates the same steering force but significantly less power loss than deflecting the jet thrust flow. The system, involving vertically installed transom Interceptors in combination with...

Humphree Course Stabilising Fixed Fins The Humphree Course Stabilising Fixed Fins are mounted to the hull bottom close to the transom in order to improve course keeping characteristics of the boat. Consequently, the fins reduce losses associated with excessive yaw motions and correcting actions of the steering system, while adding only a minimal of resistance. The fins are specially designed to avoid cavitation related problems at higher speed. The fins are well suited for both new and retrofit applications. The bolt pins are designed to break off if the fin hits an underwater object where...
