DMS Holland Dynamic Marine Systems B.V.

This innovative roll damping system was developed by DMS Holland and perfected together with renowned partners such as Marin, TNO and TU Delft.

Thanks to its unique dual-axis fins that rotate while the yacht is underway and make a flapping motion when the yacht is at rest (zero speed), the DMS AntiRoll stabilizes both while underway and when the yacht is at anchor, without any compromise in performance in either situation. The concept and operation of this ingenious system takes inspiration from the fins of the blue whale.

Due to the patent obtained for this type of roll damping, the system cannot and must not be replicated by others.

In addition, the flapping motion of the fins creates a much greater lifting effect than fins that only rotate when the vessel is at rest. In addition, the fins can be folded or partially folded into the hull, making the system suitable for sailing yachts. AntiRoll uses a smart hybrid drive, which means the system requires relatively little power. DMS has also kept noise to a minimum during operation.

Model testing and drag testing, as well as expert evaluations, have confirmed that the AntiRoll system provides improved performance in both stabilization and drag through the water.

What are the main advantages of this AntiRoll roll damping method compared to conventional roll damping?

The DMS WaveMaster is based on a completely new perspective: keep the bow in the swell so that the boat cannot roll.
DMS Holland is very proud to bring this brand new innovation to the market. The DMS WaveMaster has been thoroughly tested by the development department for performance, safety, ease of use, durability and quality. The final results are something very special and we would like to share them with you.

This new invention is of course patented and the DMS WaveMaster is now available.
What is it?
Pretty smart. It's a self thinking stern thruster with two functions:

It keeps the bow of yachts up to 25 metres at anchor directly in the waves, reducing roll by up to 85%.
It works like a conventional stern thruster, making it easier to manoeuvre and moor and cast off.
How does it work?
As soon as the boat deviates 3 to 4 degrees from the indicated course, the system automatically activates the stern thruster and the yacht is gently and smoothly moved into the correct position. The stern thruster is always mounted on the stern bow of the yacht, which makes installation and maintenance both simple and space-saving and cost-effective. The DMS WaveMaster is particularly suitable for people who want to spend the night somewhere at anchor, relax among the islands off the coast of Cannes or dine "al fresco" on the aft deck.

Extended operating system for all yachts with existing fin stabilizers
Often it is just the control system for the existing fin stabilisers on a yacht that stops working properly due to malfunction, age or because parts are no longer available. And if the fins themselves and the mechanical/hydraulic part are all still working fine and will probably last for years to come, it would be a shame to go for a completely new and expensive roll damping system.

The correct solution is then to simply replace the defective control system with the DMS Universal. A modern, digital control system developed by DMS Holland, with the latest technology such as a CAN bus system, a colour touch screen and an electronic multi-term controller with sophisticated stabilisation algorithms.
There is also an "advanced" DMS Universal version. In addition to the zero speed function, this also has a number of other special functionalities. For more information, please call +31 (0)85-2010095 or email us at sales@dmsholland.com.

The system is durable and consists of readily available industrial components in case unexpected service work is required.

You keep your existing rolling dampers and only replace their operating system.
