"Latest Structural Changes and Additions to the Kruzof"

These photos illustrate the latest addition to the Kruzof-- An Anti Roll Tank which helps stabilize the vessel in rough weather. The tank is built with a series of baffles and chambers inside. The tank is filled with water. The transition of water from one side to the other in the tank causes for a counter balance of the vessel hence lessens the roll from port to starboard, smoothing out the ride as it navigates through rough waters.

For more info or questions on details of the anti-roll tank you may contact the designer at stephane.loubert@marinexpertplus.ca

This is attachment is called a Beaver Tail. Another attempt by Captain Jim to create fairweather conditions on the Kruzof even when the weather is rough.

The exta steel plate improves water flow to the propeller which improves the hull perfomance.
