Zipwake launches PRO, an upgraded version of its Dynamic Trim Control System. It offers an interceptor blade rate that is five times faster, plus active pitch control, a wake-shaping feature and a new adaptive interface.
“We’ve been established since 2014 and have accumulated many years of expertise in interceptor technology. We’re now witnessing a technology shift from conventional trim tabs to interceptors, and with the PRO, we’re taking trim control to the next level. We’re thrilled and very proud of our new products” says Jörgen Holmgren, CEO at Zipwake AB.
The PRO builds on everything that made the original system a success, but now with a five-times-faster interceptor blade rate that results in quicker responses, sharper precision, and an even more comfortable, controlled ride.
With the new active pitch control feature, the system actively and rapidly adjusts the boat’s trim to maintain the ideal pitch angle whether you’re cutting through head seas, cruising over following seas, or adapting to shifting weight distribution. With PRO, the Zipwake active roll control and balanced turns are further enhanced to provide even greater stability and maneuverability. Active roll now responds more precisely to rolling motions from waves or uneven loads, keeping the boat steady in all conditions. Meanwhile, balanced turns are even more precise and faster. The system dynamically adjusts heeling angle, ensuring smoother, controlled turns at any speed.
The new wake-shaping function allows surfers to use the Zipwake system to shape the ideal wake for perfect surfing conditions.
With a new, sleek adaptive user interface that displays relevant information based on current conditions, PRO ensures boaters have a seamless, user-friendly experience at their fingertips.
“We’re passionate about technical advancements for comfortable boating experiences, and with the introduction of PRO we’re taking automatic trim control to the next level. What’s more, we’ve managed to do so while keeping the compact design of our systems and the wide range of interceptors. This will not only make PRO suitable for any boat in the 20 to 100 ft class, but will also allow existing Zipwake users to easily upgrade to PRO”, says Mats Sköld, Technical Manager at Zipwake AB.
