New Bedford, MA -- Imtra Corporation’s wide range of windlass controls has been extended again with the most innovative and useful remote controllers to-date. Among these, the CHC-1102M even includes its own microprocessor, an LCD display of chain (or rode) deployed and an LED “flashlight” for safer work on deck at night.
The microprocessor allows Imtra’s CHC-1102M controller to be programmed not only to work with almost any windlass but also to include safety alarms and function monitors, of which the graphic chain counter is especially useful. Each owner can determine alarm thresholds as well as which functions to display - in their choice of 5 languages - on the bright LCD screen, which has a wide viewing angle, adjustable backlighting plus automatic contrast compensation for enhanced viewing in sunlight or night conditions. Displayable data include chain/rode deployed (in meters or feet), chain speed, voltage supply, date and time, and more...

POPULAR SATELLITE RADIO ANTENNA UPGRADED...
The tradition of providing better products is alive and well at Shakespeare. The Galaxy SRA-30 satellite radio antenna is now available packaged with a pedestal mount kit. The new offering becomes the Shakespeare Galaxy SRA-40.
The SRA-40 receives and amplifies satellite radio signals, like its little brother, the SRA-30. It boasts the same unique low profile and small size.

SECURITY SYSTEM BOASTS NEW DESIGN...
A surveillance camera adds a level of protection to property, and should do so no matter what the conditions. With a sleek new design, Night Vision Technologies' 125 camera enhances safety and security by improving the operator's ability to detect, observe and identify objects and activity in total darkness, daylight or mixed light.
For shipping, commercial and large pleasure vessels, the 125 is an ideal stationary camera for monitoring cargo and valuable equipment. The unit also has broad security applications for marinas and other commercial sites such as oil rigs.
The state-of-the-art thermal camera inside the 125 is protected from the harsh marine environment by a rugged, pressurized, stainless steel housing. It provides NTSC video output and is easily integrated into a craft's information center/bridge, or land-based monitoring and control rooms...

International Shipyards Ancona announced the launching of one of their latest artworks, a steel-hull, aluminum superstructure displacement motoryacht named AXIOMA, the sixth 47 meter of the range. On March 25th, 2006, with a private party agreed to be the yacht’s new owners, MY AXIOMA slowly glided down the slipway. As the she touched the water loads of balloons and streamers we’re released into the sky.
Standing at the podium, the owner and his family, some of his friends, ISA managers and some business partners, but above all ISA’s employees and their families, longing to see the boat they worked on for some 20 months go in the water… all attended with great respect and admiration. It was the fulfilment of a promise ISA made 2 years earlier.

Miami, FL – A fleet of eight Hargrave yachts was on display at the recent 2006 Miami Yacht & Brokerage Show, which attracted buyers from around the country. According to company President Michael Joyce, “This was our largest show in history and also proved to be our best show in terms of sales. We saw an instant response to the new 105’ Flush Deck DREAM as well as the 108’ Raised Pilothouse FREEDOM.”
Following the show, these yachts all left Miami together, escorted by a helicopter. Eight captains showed off their skills by piloting the yachts through Blue Angel type maneuvers. This celebratory departure was inspired by the success of the show and Hargrave’s fun loving sensibility. The crews developed five different “maneuvers” including a 4 x 4 crossing maneuver. After five days of hard work, we were all ready for a little bit of amusement. These exciting maneuvers are captured below.....

On January 28 2006, Hakvoort Shipyard launched the 49,99 meter JeMaSa, due to be delivered in April 2006. By volume and tonnage, JeMaSa is the largest yacht launched to date at Hakvoort Shipyard.
JeMaSa is a twin screw ocean going motor yacht with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure and equipped with facilities that allow her decks to be enjoyed throughout the year. Take the aft deck, for example. In warm weather, this will be the ideal spot to relax in the shade of the upper deck. In strong winds, it can be screened off on both sides. And in cold weather, the entire deck can be enclosed.
JeMaSa has a split level sun deck to accommodate both a helicopter platform and a Jacuzzi. To guarantee exceptional comfort levels, she is equipped with special stabilization-at-anchor systems.
The yacht profile has been designed by regarded Espen Oeino Design and naval architecture has been carried out by Diana Yacht Design...

Oceanco's NEW Y702!
Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the Y701, which has received extensive build coverage by YachtForums, Oceanco is proud to unveil the NEW Y702! Another cutting-edge creation by the dynamic design duo of Nuvolari & Lenard, the Y702 is slated to splash in the summer of 2007.
Although there are striking similarities between the two 700-series yachts, there are dramatic differences in features. The 702 upholds the bold, angular look of its sooner-to-be-built sibling, but with smoother contours and some refined design elements. It’s not surprising the 701 would have a successor; the design has been so well received it prompted at least one owner to build another.
At first glance, the 700’s look so much alike, one might wonder if Oceanco was building production superyachts, but these are very different builds. The most distinguished difference is the Y702’s new heli-pad...
The new Custom Line 97’...
A new line of the Custom Line fleet is born! After the success of the Custom Line 94’ that saw a total of 21 units sold in six years, this brand has announced the debut of the new Custom Line 97’ for the 2005-2006 season.
This 29.5 meter planing hull is an evolution of the Custom Line 94’ and keeps many of the fundamental characteristics that made it a success. The vessel is a result of the ongoing co-operation between the CRN shipyard and the Zuccon International Project Studio that plans the Interior and Exterior layouts. Significant refinements has allowed an interior layout of four sizeable double guest cabins below deck, one more than the Custom Line 94’.
The new 97’s incorporate windows into the hull, so that each guest cabin has a large oval glass panel from which the guests can appreciate the surrounding sea. Underwater lights are provided as a standard feature to enhance this experience at night...
