Press Release Body = \"Hovercraft Come of Age\"
And now for something completely different. New 3 person-hovercraft designed for the
marine leisure market.
Birmingham, West Midlands, - 18/12/2005
The theory behind one of the most successful inventions of the 20th century, the
Hovercraft, was originally tested in 1955 using an empty KiteKat cat food tin inside
a coffee tin, an industrial air blower and a pair of kitchen scales by inventor Sir
Christopher Cockerell.
Things have changed a bit since then.
Compared to Rib boats, personal watercraft, boats and 4x4s, the Hov Pod, a
three-person leisure Hovercraft has a number of major advantages.
For example, you can hover over grass, sand, mud, ice, packed snow, along shallow
rivers, over submerged coral or rocks, at high tide, or low tide, it really doesn't
matter when. Use Hov Pod as a boat tender, waterside property taxi, or a craft just
to have fun with.
Large enough to carry three adults, or perhaps an adult and three children, the Hov
Pod offers a truly amazing ride experience. Logic tells you to slow down while
approaching the beach with normal marine craft, but the Hov Pod just keeps on going,
so you never really have to get wet, just drive on up the beach to step out onto dry
land.
Slide and glide into corners as on a magic carpet with attitude! The pure fact that
you are levitating 9 inches off the surface on a cushion of air has a really
liberating effect on your sense of direction.
For example, why go around the mudflats when you can go over them. For thrills, try
180 turns up the beach, or continuous 360 spins, difficult to achieve in any other
type of vehicle.
Everything about the Hov Pod challenges any perceptions you had about hovercraft, as
it has been designed and built specifically for the marine leisure industry. Every
aspect has been tackled, from ease of use, to serviceability, reliability and
durability.
Hov Pod hovercrafts offer enormous fun and excitement, and the ultimate adrenalin
rush, without compromising safety for hovercraft drivers and passengers.
It is also easy to tow with purpose designed one-man operated trailer, to allow you
to explore far-flung places, to reach the parts that other people never see. "The
Hov Pod Hovercraft attracts all sorts of customers", explains sales and marketing
manager Mike Glanville, "to include people who have tired of personal watercraft and
RIBs, who want to reach their boats or waterside property at low tide, to farmers,
hunters, fishermen, divers, and people of all ages.
Of particular interest for rescue organizations, we have developed three Work Pod
versions, and these make the ideal craft for rescue from mud-flats, sand, swamps,
floods, shallow rivers, iced over lakes, or areas where there might be submerged
rocks or coral."
