"We're actually based near Houston and our newest product sets a new direction in yacht control that I hope you'll be as excited about as we are. The stasys system is what we're introducing. It means by definition in the dictionary—a state of stability in which all forces are equal and opposing, and therefore they cancel each other out. (Yes, you can start that, sure). You'll see this running while I'm still talking and probably—I hope I don’t distract you from what you can see there. What we discovered, at least as best we could tell, there's an excellent reason why dynamic positioning has not been put on a lot of yachts, in the charter business or otherwise. When you pull up over a reef that’s a little bit sensitive, you’ve got an environmental issue, you can't anchor on a reef. If you have dynamic positioning and the guests like to get off the back of the boat on the swim platform, jump in the water, swim, put
the toys out and what have you. It would be a rather crude accident if somebody got run over and cut up with the props. So I think that’s been one of the big reasons. What we've done is come up with a jet thruster system, there are 6 components to this, primarily the DP system itself along with what we call our reef safe thrusters, that are hydraulically controlled water jets; the vessel perimeter monitoring and/or our collision avoidance system which are closed circuit television systems set up around the yacht, which you have access to while you're sitting in your helm chair, if you would, the typical MPCMS system, the monitoring system, that will take care of as many points as are necessary and become a vital part of monitoring the boat. And then of course, our joystick. The joystick is attached, as you can see from the pictures, to the helm chair but it's also detachable if you would like that option or we can put it on other stations."
