Structured Luff technology is a new sail-making approach developed by Doyle Sails for the grand prix and superyacht markets. The technology essentially changes the manner in which load in the luff of a sail is distributed and, by reducing luff sag, it allows the sail to achieve more driving force. “This technology came out of the free flying code sails we were buildin...
Can you present us the concept Rivike?? The Rivike is a bike on the water, an inflatable and therefore transportable paddle bike. It is a product that aesthetically speaking, already existed about twenty years ago with a rigid board. It was called surfbike. We have optimized and modernized it by adapting it on an inflatable board. This is the real innovation proposed by...
While advancement in the field of marine electronics is moving quickly, it might seem like much of it is focused on equipment designed for boats over 30 feet in length. This year, however, many of these refinements are becoming incorporated into smaller units suitable for boats as small as 20 feet or less. A prime example of this trickle-down effect is the new EchoMap...

World-class boat shows such as the annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show are visual feasts. But as stunning as the daytime optics might be when the docks are populated with billions of dollars’ worth of floating aluminum, fiberglass and carbon fiber, it’s even more visually arresting after the sun sets, both above and below their waterlines. And while there’s no...

Navico’s ...
Delicately speaking, few pieces of mission-critical marine electronics equipment sport clunkier user interfaces than VHF radios. While there’s no question that they work exceptionally well, most VHFs still employ chunky analog knobs and push-buttons as their user interfaces, rather than -intuitive, app-based software and touchscreens. This all changed with the arrival...
