Docking revolution with Volvo Penta IPS Joystick...
Even the most experienced boat-owners can sometimes feel uncomfortable about the prospect of docking a large boat in a congested harbour, especially if the dockside is filled with spectators! Volvo Penta’s new IPS Joystick eliminates that problem. With just a few simple hand movements, you can place your boat elegantly against the dock.
In many respects, the new Volvo Penta IPS system has revolutionized boat life. With double forward-facing propellers and steerable drive units, boats equipped with the Volvo Penta IPS are significantly better than boats with traditional inboard shafts in virtually all respects.
In conjunction with this winter’s boat shows, Volvo Penta will launch the next innovative technological breakthrough in the world of leisure craft:

Folding keels come in a wide variety of shapes and configurations, but all have up until now shared the same problem of being a trade-off between the convenience of being able access hitherto inaccessible shallow anchorages and harbours, versus the problems associated with the highly complex engineering needed to operate the lifting mechanisms and a loss of internal accommodation space.
First shown at the Monaco Yacht Show 2005, the Scissor Keel™ from Humphreys Yacht Design typifies their solutions-led approach to the design of superyachts. Humphreys took as their brief the twin objectives of designing a lifting keel that firstly would present no danger to the yachts in the event of catastrophic failure, and secondly would not take up valuable accommodation space within the hull of the yacht...

Catwalk's interior design concept incudes stucco walls and fabrics in harmony with Oak and African zebrawood, which have both a polished and satin finish. She was built entirely in-house by KaiserWerft of Bavaria in GRP. The yacht benefits from unusually high ceilings, especially in the entrance lobby located midship. This lounginf area is as high as 3 metres.
In continuity with previously built yachts, large windows in the observation lounge compliment the Salon, a few steps away. Exclusive staircases to the lower deck for both the VIP and Guests are an unusual feature. The large Master suite on the main deck incorporates a Nautilis, an unusual and unique seat at 3 different levels in the bow area...

ACR Electronics, Inc. has introduced RAPIDTRACK - a simplified Voyage Data Recorder (S-VDR) with either a Hardened Capsule or a Float Free 406 Memory Capsule. The S-VDR is designed to record and maintain the ship's data. Like the black boxes on aircraft, S-VDR provides accident investigators with information recorded before an incident.
The RAPIDTRACK meets the IMO Performance Standard A.861(20), the MED Directive 1999/35/EC and IEC 61996. It is also EC-type approved (Wheelmark). All data is stored in compact flash memory on a hard disk in the RAPIDTRACK as well as in an external memory capsule of which there are two types.
The ACR-designed Float Free 406 Memory Capsule (now awaiting agency (approvals) records and stores a retrievable record of the ship¹s nautical, technical and safety data from the S-VDR main unit...
