YachtForums: We Know Big Boats!
No Hydraulics, No Pneumatics... No More & Roll!
Nothing can ruin a beautiful day of boating quicker than seasickness. Now the whole family can enjoy boating more comfortably while anchored, drifting, fishing or moored. Magma’s Rock-N-Roll boat stabilizer significantly reduces the effects of motion on boat and crew.
The patented hydrodynamic design of Magma’s Rock-N-Roll stabilizer relies on shape rather than mass, making it very efficient and easy to handle. The proven hinged-wing stabilizer operates silently without noisy flapper valves or vanes that can keep the boat's occupants awake at night. It actually reduces motion sickness and accidents caused by uncomfortable wind and sea conditions.
As the boat rolls down a wave, the stabilizer's hinged wing folds flat, allowing it to dive without the resistance or buoyancy found in other designs that use frames, cones or bags...

LeClercq Marine's New 82 Arrives In Style
Seattle builder LeClercq Marine has just unveiled their newest yacht, and it's as much a treat for the eye as it is for the performance minded. The design captures the advanced styling of a concept boat but with a lot of functionality built in below deck. Two features stand out above the rest. The roominess of accommodations for owners, guests and crew, plus the ample speed this boat has to whisk its passengers along to extended destinations.
There are four staterooms on the lower deck forward that are accessed from the mid-ships galley. The VIP stateroom is in the bow with its own ensuite head, followed by two guest staterooms that share the day head and flank the center passageway. Further aft is the master stateroom that occupies the full beam of the boat. The two crew staterooms are accessed from the stern cockpit by way of a private stairway. A passageway leads forward to a crew's galley and head, and then to the engine room access...

New ABEKING & RASMUSSEN 147' is waiting for a new owner...
When Abeking & Rasmussen delivered BRAVADO at the end of July 2004, six weeks prior to the signed date, the owner was happy that his new yacht could make it in time for the Olympic Games at Athens. He even could cruise the Baltic for some days before the crew headed south.
Almost parallel to BRAVADO, a near sister ship was taking shape, but built without a customer order. The positive public feed back triggered by the deliveries of ZENOBIA, EXCELLENCE III or KWIKUMAT, moved Abeking & Rasmussen’s boss Herman Schaedla to keep his staff busy, by building another yacht at the same time.
It is not easy setting up an interior which leaves enough room to realize the imaginations of a still unknown owner at a later stage...

SECOND GENERATION LEAR TAKES OFF IN MARINE INDUSTRY
With the same entrepreneurial spirit and reputation for quality that made Learjet a household name, Shanda Lear, daughter of world-renowned inventor Bill Lear, has followed in her father's footsteps and recently launched a new product of her own—in the marine industry.
Together with husband/designer Terry Baylor, Lear brings a new breed of electric boat to the marketplace. The 20-foot vessel, called the Lear 204, is manufactured by Lear Baylor Inc. of Garden Grove, California, and incorporates several unique features—among them a retractable hard top and patent-pending propulsion system.
The Lear 204 made its official debut earlier this year in Newport Beach, California, at the 2005 Boat Show at the Dunes.
Prior to the boat's launch, Lear spent 30 years working in various areas of the non-profit sector, including management, multi-media education, marketing and motivational speaking...

(July 2005)
Humphreys Yacht Design has announced that work has begun on the construction of a 37-metre (122 feet) High Performance Motor Yacht at McMullen & Wing in Auckland, NZ. Designed as a long-distance, ocean-going yacht, the hull and superstructure are built substantially from carbon composite which, when combined with three MTU 16v 4000 M90 series engines and Rolls Royce Kamewa jet drives, are designed to achieve speeds in the 60 knot range.
To allow a vessel of this size to travel at such speeds, a wide range of issues had to be anticipated and addressed. One important factor concerned the centre of gravity, which in high-speed motorboats needs to be situated nearer the stern than in displacement craft...

On June 25th, under the eager watch of her new owners, relatives and friends, together with the ISA team, ISA launched the M/Y "Lady Dahlia", the latest in a successful series of steel hull and aluminum superstructure yachts from ISA.
After speeches from Gianluca Fenucci and Marcello Maggi, the owner’s wife, thrilled by the event, said a few warm words to thank all the people who had played a role on the construction of Lady Dahlia. ISA’s technical and production departments have created another masterpiece, in conjuntion with the design efforts of Walter Franchini and Cristiano Gatto.
During the launching ceremony, in continued support for the local infrastructure, ISA presented an ambulance to the local Red Cross society. The donation by the shipyard was made possible by the generous contributions from ISA personnel and subcontractors...

NEW LIFE JACKETS KEEP DOGS SAFE ON THE WATER...
Boaters understand the importance of having human life jackets onboard, and should recognize that it is equally important to provide a flotation device for their faithful, four-legged companions. The new Paws Aboard Life Jacket keeps dogs safe on the water, whether boating or swimming.
The life jackets provide superior buoyancy. If the pet wants to take an afternoon swim, the mesh underbelly quickly drains excess water and speeds drying time, keeping the pet cool and comfortable.
Reflective strips and bright, neon-yellow fabric make the life jackets highly visible. They also feature a sturdy handle to make retrieving a dog from the water quick and easy. The heavy-duty, adjustable Velcro® strapping system stays securely fastened. Because of its unique design, strapping around the belly and neck, there is no fighting to get the dog into the life jacket...

AIR DRYER ELIMINATES MOISTURE, MOLD AND MILDEW...
Reducing moisture is an important factor in preventing mold and mildew. The Air-Dryr™ 1000 by Davis Instruments eliminates damp air from homes, boats and RVs.
Designed to operate anywhere, the Air-Dryr 1000 is easier to use than a dehumidifier and effectively dries 1,000 cubic feet of air. By using natural convection to heat and move air, the silent, high-volume unit has no containers to empty or hoses to connect.
Drawing damp air into its polycarbonate base, the Air-Dryr heats the air above the dew point and releases it out the top vents. The heated air rises and forces cooler, damp air through the Air-Dryr. This lowers the relative humidity and prevents mold and mildew growth.
Containing no parts that cause sparking, the compact unit safely eliminates moisture from boats and RVs. Having a stable, low-profile design, the Air-Dryr fits conveniently in tight spaces. It has a 13.5" diameter and stands 4.25" high...

Three months after taking over as the new owner of Broward Yachts in Dania Beach, Tom Lewis announced that the company will build three new lines of yachts ranging from 120 feet to 160 feet. The newly designed Broward Yacht models, priced from $10 million to $20 million, are the main element in the new owner's plan to revive the boatyard as one of America’s premier builders of megayachts. Lewis is a real estate developer from Miami who bought the 10-acre yard in March after leasing a Broward yacht and later deciding to buy one for himself.
Founded more than five decades ago, the boatyard, formerly called Broward Marine Inc., was one of the first producers of megayachts. In recent years, however, production and sales at the yard, which has made more than 200 yachts, have fallen off. Other South Florida companies build yachts and smaller boats, but Broward Yachts is the area's only producer of megayachts, or luxury vessels measuring 80 feet or larger...

After returning to the dock from an enjoyable day on the water, more than one skipper has overlooked switching off accessories such as the blower or bilge pump. A programmable alarm from Water Witch takes the worry out of a dead battery or equipment damage by providing a reminder for the forgetful captain.
Water Witch's PA300-series programmable alarms can be wired directly to any accessory that might be left on accidentally. The alarm contains an electronic, audible timer with adjustable preset times of 1-15 minutes. This time interval is easily selected at the touch of a button on the front panel.
When the preset time period expires, a stainless steel, piezo buzzer sounds and continues to pulse until it is shut off or muted. If the mute button on the front panel is pressed, the buzzer is silenced and the timer automatically resets. If the accessory or device is turned off, the PA300 shuts off automatically.
Installation and wiring is simple...
