The embodiment of spirit and adventure, this Gunboat 48 is on the search for her next custodian. Born of Gunboat's singular focus to quality and durability, 'Vela' has spent much of her life travelling to the world's most spectacular locations. 'Vela' has received an extensive refit ensuring that she is 100% ready to go on her next adventure. Lightweight, robust and featuring North 3Di technology flying from a Marstrom Carbon mast supported by ECsix carbon rigging, 'Vela' strikes the balance between performance and comfort in a manner rarely seen on catamarans under 50ft. The saloon space flows beautifully into the hulls and forward into the forward cockpit which, of course, leaves the aft cockpit space open and free for socialising and watching the world go by. Professionally managed and maintained, 'Vela' is ready to set sail. Cure Marine is proud to be appointed as the global central agent for this iconic Gunboat 48.

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."
