Basically the system uses the inertial of the massive, spinning gyro to counter rolling moments. It can certainly be effective, although for heavier full displacement yachts like Nordhavns would require multiple units installed, at significant expense. On the other hand, it is equally effective at anchor, unlike most basic fin stabilization systems.
