Did you know our boats don’t have a hull-to-deck joint? We don’t make our yachts like other manufacturers, we make them better, stronger, and to last longer. One of the ways we distinguish our yachts from the mass-produced yachts is the way we join the hull to the deck. Some manufacturers bond the hull to the deck with structural adhesive, some bond and use screws, some bond and bolt. We are one of a few manufacturers who bond and then laminate the deck to the hull. Doing this makes the hull stronger; the hull and the deck become a single, strong structure. It is easier and quicker to fit the interior of a yacht before the deck is attached, but doing this means that the deck will have to be joined with the bulkheads and some of the interior in place – this makes the join harder to access. We join the hull and deck as one of the first parts of the build process; the whole join can be laminated and we know there will be no voids. We then build our yachts with the deck attached; everything for the interior – the bulkheads, every item you see in the interior, including the engine – comes through the companionway or the roof in the deck saloon. #WeAreSirius #SiriusWerft #Sirius #siriusyachts #Yacht #Yachting #Sailing #Sailboat #Decksaloon #decksalon #BluewaterCruiser #OffshoreCruiser #LiftingKeel #Twinkeel #BilgeKeel #Handbuilt #Sailingyacht #Sailingboat #BlueWaterSailing #GoAnywhereCruiser #Swingkeel #OceanSailing #Circumnavigation #DreamYacht #Segeln #SailingLife #SailingLifeStyle #LiveABoard #SailingInstagram #YachtingWorld

For a review that explains how the Velodyne Martinin 1.5 works: http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/03/the-velodyne-martini-1-5-active-suspension-on-a-boat/ For more videos from the Miami Boat Show, visit www.boats.com. The Velodyne Martini 1.5 was the wackiest, and most technically impressive, thing I saw at this year's Miami International Boat Show. In a nutshell, the Martini 1.5—so-named because it will keep your drink from sloshing—is a pontoon boat with active suspension. The system is the creation of Velodyne founder David Hall and a team of very enthusiastic engineers, some of whom were at Miami and gave me a demo ride on the boat. Hall and the Velodyne name may be familiar to audiophiles, as he got his start in 1983 with a patented, accelerometer-based High Gain Servo System to control sub-woofer cone movement. The company, which is based on the fringe of Silicon Valley near Morgan Hill, California, is still in the speaker business and has also developed the Velodyne LiDAR system used for 3D mapping. At Miami, one of the engineers explained that the Martini 1.5 is based on the same premise as their original speaker, "but instead of measuring and reacting to the movement of the speaker cone, we are reacting to the movement of the boat deck to cancel out the action of the waves."
