Product Description

Driving range
This summer saw the Swedish marine propulsion giant Volvo Penta unveil a host of new products, not least of which were two bigger IPS units that could, in multi-unit installations,   push along planing boats as big as 30m (100ft) or conceivably even bigger.

Hard case
Developed with structural engineering assistance from SP Systems, VT Halmatic’s new         high-speed Pacific 950 RIB is not only particularly light, but also extremely rugged. It is destined for special-forces use and will include an air-drop capability.

Half-hearted
Holland’s Royal Huisman Shipyard recently hooked up ‘off yacht’ half of the ground-breaking onboard-power system for its 58m (190ft) flybridge sloop Ethereal.

Umbrella skies
Italian roof systems specialist Opac has developed a neat fan-style awning.

COVER STORY
Menorquin Yachts — Classic Novels
Menorquin Yachts is in the process of tweaking its distinctive motorcruiser formula to appeal to a wider international audience. Phil Draper investigates.

Light work
VTM carbon-epoxy prepregs purpose-engineered by ACG have helped British marine glazing manufacturer Trend Marine Products to develop a line of light and strong sliding sunroofs, which have opened up new design possibilities for a growing number of production boatbuilders.    Bob Greenwood reports.

Carbon copies
Swedish contract moulding firm Technofibre and its performance-cruiser builder client      Sweden Yachts are infusing using carbonfibre and Ashland’s AME6000 resin, a new-formula epoxy-vinylester hybrid. Bob Greenwood reports.

Special forces
In the hands of experts, finite element analysis (FEA) software can have a huge impact on the design process. But in the wrong hands it is at best useless and at worst potentially dangerous. Phil Draper reports.
