COMPLETE ARCTURUS MARINE-TRAC SYSTEM INSTALLED ON HORIZON PREMIER 130, TAIWAN'S LARGEST BUILD TO DATE
Rohnert Park, CA-March 25, 2008
Horizon Marine Group recently launched the largest Yacht ever built in Taiwan, the Horizon Premier 130+. This first of a kind Yacht uses a full compliment of Arcturus Marine's world-renowned TRAC(r) digital stabilizers, thrusters and integrated hydraulics systems.
"We at Arcturus Marine are proud to be part of this milestone for Horizon and Taiwan. We have long been involved with the premier Yacht brands coming out of the Asia-Pacific and feel very strongly that this region continues to be a yacht manufacturing force to be reckoned with" said John Champion, sales manager for Arcturus Marine's TRAC products.
Arcturus Marine has a well proven relationship with Horizon, the majority of boats built by this builder over the years have included TRAC products, including; the Horizon 53, 65, 68, 73, 76, 82, 92R, and 105. This close cooperation between both companies has produced boats with superior performance, quality and reliability.
The Horizon Premier 130+ includes the following notable TRAC products. The 130+ is equipped with a 20 inch, 75 horsepower bow thruster, recognized by the yachting world for their high output and heavy-duty construction. The Digital Stabilizing system on this boat features Arcturus Marine’s highly acclaimed TRAC-Star (stabilization at rest) product, fitted with a pair of TRAC 440 actuators with automatic locking pins, coupled to a pair of 20X (28 sq/ft) stabilizer fins featuring TRAC's unique winglet design, which reduces drag and increases lift. TRAC-Star systems not only provide outstanding comfort while the boat is at rest but also provide unrivaled ride control while underway. TRAC has now delivered more at-rest systems than any other supplier in the world! The 130+ uses a robust TRAC Integrated Hydraulics to support the thrusters and stabilizing system, as well as third party hydraulic devices such as capstans, cranes, windlasses, bilge pumps and other devices. All TRAC integrated hydraulics are configured to the specific needs of the yacht.
Horizon Marine Group has done an impressive job of expanding their Taiwan facilities in response to global demand for larger yachts and Arcturus Marine-TRAC is proud to be there supporting them all the way as their preferred Integrated system supplier. TRAC also appreciates and continues to nurture long-standing relationships with most Asia-Pacific builders where TRAC bow and stern thrusters, digital stabilizers, and integrated hydraulics will be seen on more boats coming from this part of the manufacturing world than ever before. TRAC equipment is installed as standard equipment by more of the world’s top yacht builders than any other brand.
