Abstract: A fin stabilizer is for the roll-stabilizing of a watercraft in motion, at anchor, or at zero speed, including a shaft on which a stabilizing fin is disposed. The shaft is drivable by a drive unit for changing at least one angle of attack of the stabilizing fin in the water. A cross-sectional geometry of the stabilizing fin is changeable by at least one actuator, and the stabilizing fin forms a closed surface geometry. Due to the hydraulically effective cross-sectional geometry of the stabilizing fin, which cross-sectional geometry is largely changeable by at least one actuator, a significantly increased energy efficiency of the fin stabilizer results with a simultaneously improved stabilizing effect of the fin stabilizer, in particular with respect to suppressing rolling movements of the watercraft.
