Seakeeper recently won the 2011 American Superyacht Forum Innovation Award, which was introduced this year.

“Winning the innovation award is a testament to the uniqueness of our product line,” said John Kermet, Seakeeper sales and marketing vice president, in a statement. “It also highlights Seakeeper's applicability in the superyacht sector, where we've been supplying products since mid-2008. We're very excited about this award.”

Five companies made short and interactive technical/innovation presentations to showcase the latest technological innovations for the superyacht industry. Superyacht forum delegates voted.

Kermet’s presentation focused on the gyro's technology and its current and future superyacht applications.
