NEW PRODUCTS Life Cell
Life Cell, which stores essential safety gear together in a buoyant, high-visibility floating case for quick and easy access in emergencies, has received a 2018 Top Product Award from Boating Industry magazine.
Designed by a survivor of a rapid sinking off the coast of Sydney, Australia, Life Cell is redefining how safety equipment is stored on boats and creating a new category of safety equipment in an attempt to save lives. It is like combining a life ring and a ditch kit in one device, two items that have undergone little innovation in recent history.
“Life Cell has had significant success in Australia since it was launched in 2015 and we are pleased that we are starting to get the same traction in the United States,” said Life Cell Marine Safety CEO Jenny Aiken.
DMS Holland to start developing stabilisers for fast-planing yachts
Following the successful development and subsequent launch to market of the electric roll damping system for yachts up to 30 metres, the MagnusMaster, DMS Holland has now started the development of a roll damping system for fast-planing yachts up to 30 metres.
This new AntiRoll damping system will be produced as a standard-series stabiliser. Until now, AntiRoll has only been developed as a ‘custom build’ for super and mega yachts. DMS Holland will be taking this patented dual-axis fin stabiliser and using it to form the basis for their new system. The fundamental concept behind AntiRoll remains the same, namely high-aspect fins that rotate whilst sailing and flap whilst the yacht is at anchor. It is stabilisation at fast speed that will form the extra addition and make it a 3-in-1 stabiliser. “How this will actually be achieved we are keeping to ourselves for a little while longer yet,” says Patrick Noor, DMS Holland’s co-owner responsible for sales & marketing.
Various international shipyards and dealers have already shown interest in the system and have indicated a willingness to support the innovation in wanting to test the system for one of their models. One of these so-called ‘Launching Customers’ is Jonkers Yachts.
