US Super Yachts_7.25x10_R.indd 1 14-08-12 13:39

Greetings fellow members and superyacht industry leaders!

On behalf of the U.S. Superyacht Association (USSA) Board of Directors, I’m delighted to welcome you to another edition of our annual USSA Membership Directory and U.S. Welcome Guide. We hope that you enjoy the new feature articles that include ideas for chartering a yacht and cruising U.S. waters, how to choose the right marina for your needs, how to secure your prized possession and more!

As you can see from our cover design and editorial content, this edition is dedicated to our grassroots marketing campaign, “Come SEA U.S.” that was designed to help entice, educate and promote these United States as the ultimate destination for building your dream yacht, cruising our beautiful waterways or servicing your yacht in one of our world-class facilities with master craftsmen! As you can see from our increased membership list (doubled since our last printing), we have a tremendous offering of members to help serve nearly everything that you as a traveling yachtsman might need. If you don’t find something that you’re looking for, I encourage you to contact our office and one of our staff will be happy to assist you, or go to our website for the very latest list of members.

Over the past year, the USSA has joined forces with the America’s Cup as an Operational Partner for the Superyacht Division. This is particularly exciting as we get ready for all the activities that begin next year. We encourage you to bring your yachts to the United States and plan to experience all we have to offer. There is plenty to keep you busy for a few seasons! There are lots of exciting events and activities planned for the superyachts during the America’s Cup, so stay tuned to our web site for even more updates as they come along.

I encourage you to catch up on what the US Superyacht Association has been doing in the

letter from the chAirmAnJohn Mann III, Bluewater Books & Charts

advocacy arena over the past year. This has been a busy and successful year for our Association and for the industry. We continue to make strides at building and strengthening relationships with Congressional and Regulatory leadership that is having a direct and positive impact on the superyacht industry in the United States!

As you’ll see, we are proud that after only five years, the USSA is truly making a difference in the superyacht world. We couldn’t have done any of this without the tremendous support of our dedicated board members and volunteer committees that spend countless hours throughout the year helping our association grow and prosper. Our partnerships and alliances with other marine trade associations helps give our members and the entire industry a more unified message about the tremendous impact our industry has on our economy. You will also see that we’ve had some fun over the past year as we’ve spread our wings and held events around the country—giving all of our members the opportunity to network.

Finally, we couldn’t have accomplished nearly as much without the tremendous support of our members and the industry. I’m proud to serve as Chairman of the U.S. Superyacht Association and will continue to work hard to continue with our mission to promote the superyacht industry and serve as its voice. I look forward to hearing from you on ways that we can continue to help your business and our industry grow and prosper in the coming year.

I’ll see you on the docks!

“to Promote the SuPeryacht induStry of the united StateS and to Serve aS itS voice.”

The USSA is made up of a variety of businesses across the United States that represent thousands of jobs and tremendous economic impact on our economy. We need a strong unified voice to protect the superyacht industry.

hoW did the uSSa get Started?The USSA was formed in 2005 in direct response to the lack of a unified voice in the United States for the unique needs of the large yacht segment of the marine industry. Over the years, the 11 founding members have worked to grow the USSA to represent the superyacht industry in more than 22 states and 16 foreign countries. With nearly 250 members and seven growing regions across the country, the USSA is poised to work even harder for the superyacht industry.

Why Join the uSSa?Join the USSA if:• You want to have your issues advocated as part of

Since its inception in 2005, the U.S. Superyacht Association (USSA) has been working hard to develop strong relationships in the national regulatory and legislative arenas to protect the special needs of the superyacht industry. These relationships provide the Association with the opportunity to educate the country’s leadership about the significant economic impact the industry provides.

The strength of the USSA comes from the membership. The top 15 boating states are represented in the seven regions of the association (Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, northeast, Midwest, Gulf Coast, Pacific northwest and the Pacific Southwest). Within each of these regions there is an advocacy chairperson that will work with local and state marine trade associations to develop the federal legislative agenda, therefore providing a cohesive message to the public, congressional leaders and the media.

new erA, new formAtFirst awarded in 1851, the America’s Cup is the oldest, continuously contested trophy in international sport. Predating the modern Olympics by 45 years, the Cup has spanned parts of three centuries. When the starting gun is fired for Race 1 of the 34th America’s Cup on September 7, 2013, the trophy will be 162 years old. Due in part to its legacy, the America’s Cup is considerably difficult to win. Throughout its history only four nations—the U.S., Australia, new Zealand and Switzerland—have won the trophy. hundreds of men, successful in business and from many walks of life, have never found success in the America’s Cup.

From the schooner America, which began the legacy of the Cup by winning a race around the Isle of Wight in 1851, the America’s Cup has always been at the cutting-edge of technology. The 34th America’s Cup continues on that path, but at breakneck speed. The new class of yacht, the AC72, is a wing sail catamaran capable of boat speeds nearing 50 knots. Sailing fast is easy, maintaining control is critical, and the physical challenge imposed on the sailors is immense. That physical toll has been proven in the America’s Cup World Series. Sailed on the one-design AC45, the sailors are sometimes seen flat on their backs on the trampoline in between races, their chests heaving as they try to catch their breath.

In short, the 34th America’s Cup promises mesmerizing racing with the best sailors racing the fastest boats on the planet.

On September 17, 1787 when the Constitution of the United States was adopted and declared in effect, each colonial state already had its own set of pilotage regulations. While this subject was embraced within the grant of the power “to regulate commerce with the foreign nations and among the several states,” the First Congress did not supersede the state legislation, but by the Lighthouse Act of August 7, 1789 (now codified as 46 USC 211), it was enacted that “all pilots in the bays, inlets, rivers, harbors, and ports of the United States, shall continue to be regulated in conformity with the existing laws of the states respectively…, until further legislative provision shall be made by Congress.” This was a clear and authoritative declaration by the first

Congress that the nature of this local pilotage is such that until Congress should find it necessary to exercise power, it should be left to the legislation of the states.

Pilotage of internationally trading vessels in the United States is regulated by the individual coastal states, each of which maintains a pilotage system that is designed to meet the particular needs and circumstances of its own waters. Every foreign-flag vessel or yacht and every U.S. flagged vessel or yacht engaged in international trade, moving in the waters of a state is required (by that state) to take a pilot licensed by the state unless otherwise exempted.

Excluding domestic pilotage on the Great Lakes, there are 24 state jurisdictions requiring compulsory pilotage for ships and yachts plying their waters. The following is a summary of state pilotage statutes addressing or exempting the compulsory pilotage requirements for yachts.

• Exemptions based on gross or net tonnage: CA, DE, GA, LA, MA, MS, nh, nC, OR, PA, SC, Tx

• Exemptions based on draft: FL, ME • Exemptions based on length: nJ • Exemptions based on service: hI, RI • Exemptions based on specific application to

state: AK, WA• no exemptions for yachts: AL, CT, MD, nY

(except hudson River), vA

Penalties for not taking a pilot, or in their vernacular, “piloting without a license,” are as varied as the pilotage exemptions themselves. Most states can charge the guilty party with a misdemeanor and levy a civil penalty or fine. You may also find the following language in the statutes of many states, “The vessel and its owner shall be obligated to pay to the licensed state pilot at the port where the violation occurred, the pilotage rate which would otherwise have been applicable…”

I think we can safely say that compulsory pilotage requirements for foreign flagged yachts frequenting U.S. ports are at best confusing and at worst illogical. Be that as it may, the individual states have been given the right by the federal government to govern compulsory pilotage within their harbors and state waters. We must respect and obey those various state statutes.

While I hope the compilation of compulsory pilotage exemptions is of some guidance, my advice to yacht captains and managers is to call and speak directly with each pilot organization and understand exactly what are the local requirements and exemptions, if any, before you put yourself and the yacht in an embarrassing, if not illegal, situation.

Capt. Gene Sweeney, Senior Vice President of International Registries Inc. is the Administrator of the Marshall Islands Registry, the third largest open registry in the world and the most effective yacht registry located in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

There has never been a better time to Come SEA U.S. The United States offers limitless beauty and historical destinations and cruising along with fun and adventure unlike anywhere in the world.

When preparing to cruise to any country, the most important first step is to ensure that the yacht, crew and guests meet all marina, port, city, county, state and federal maritime compliance requirements upon entry and throughout their stay in the United States. The entry process in the United States varies from state to state and can even vary from port to port. Regardless of where you enter the U.S., you will be working with the numerous State and Federal regulatory agencies including: U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), CBP, various Pilot Associations and the national vessel Movement Center (nvMC) responsible for the Electronic notice of Arrival (EnOA).

Your Yacht Agent can clearly outline your specific compliance requirements, provide step-by-step instructions and ensure your entry, stay and departure process is completed meeting all compliance regulations.

In addition to the expertise on compliance requirements for entry, stay and departure, your local yacht agent, coupled with local knowledge, can guide you to established craftsmen, technical services and can also serve as your on-shore support to facilitate anything from dockage arrangements, provisions, fueling, transportation and anything in between.

USSA encourages the use of yacht agents for cruising in USA waters to ensure your experience will be memorable and first class.

Understandably, yacht owners and operators take pride in their vessels, and invest a lot of time and money to ensure that they are well cared for while they are underway, or being hosted by a marina. Marinas that cater to the mega-yacht market understand the value of providing high-end concierge services that cater to the needs of yacht owners and quality support facilities for the crew. however, when reviewing the services, costs, and value information normally used to determine marina selection, it is important to include security as an essential factor for consideration.

not a day goes by without some reminder of the number and varied types of threats to which yacht owners and their vessel operations may be exposed. Piracy continues to present a challenge to vessels off the coast of Somalia, and has expanded into the Indian Ocean. Pirate attacks against vessels of all types are now common along the horn of Africa, Asia, Central/South American and the Caribbean. Mega-yachts were typically not affected by piracy and maritime security issues, but that has also changed over the past few years. Pirates and criminals increasingly view yachts as easier, more viable, and potentially

more lucrative targets than cargo vessels, especially those that choose to transit high-risk areas without benefit of a protective convoy or security team.

In addition, criminal threats such as theft, vandalism, and assaults against yacht crews are showing signs of increasing worldwide. Many of the companies that offer insurance for luxury vessels and marinas are paying increased attention to owner/operator implementation of maritime security standards and practices as a factor in determining the premium costs. As a result, many yacht owners are taking control of onboard security by installing their own security systems and bringing professional security teams onboard to effectively implement security policies and procedures, especially if the vessel itinerary is expected to transit high risk areas or ports-of-call.

Security is usually not a concern or even considered when docked at the marina, especially in those areas that are considered “safe”. however, that is often the most vulnerable time for a vessel, and its crew. Many mega-yacht marinas do not have security as a priority for

investment of resources, but more of an additional cost to be avoided…especially during the current economic times. Some marinas are doing the minimum to comply with their interpretation of security regulations in order to stay in business. Sadly, these facilities may not stay current with evolving standards for the security of recreational vessels in a dynamic regulatory environment.

not all marinas are equal in the services they provide to mega-yacht owners, captains and crews. It doesn’t matter where in the yachting world you go, whether Europe, the United States, Asia or the Caribbean, evaluating the level of the marina’s functional compliance with security should always be a priority. Yacht owners and operators have an obligation that all reasonable “due diligence” measures are taken to ensure that the vessel, crew, and passengers will be safe and secure…at the marina and all ports-of-call on every itinerary. I have had the opportunity to travel to facilities around the world and have found some well run and secure marinas, but have also found some very poorly run facilities.

there are a number of thingS a mega-yacht caPtain can do to evaluate the Security StandardS and ServiceS of marinaS, anyWhere they may go WorldWide. thiS checKliSt ProvideS a Starting Point for determining What facility may offer the beSt oPerational and financial value for their veSSel When it comeS to Security:

1. determine if the facility has had any security related incidents in the past 24 months? this would include any theft of property, damage to vessels/property, vandalism or other security related problems. This may also be important information to provide to insurance claims adjustors in the event an unfortunate incident does occur at the marina you selected to berth your yacht. Unfortunately, many times the marina operators are reluctant to provide this information or, the information provided is not always accurate. however you can still find out the facility’s most immediate history through the following sources:

a. Check with your agent to see if they have used the facility for other clients and their dealings with the facility in the past.

b. Talk to other mega-yacht captains you trust to see if they have used the facility in the past and their experience.

c. Use the internet! There is a plethora of information there on just about every topic. There are also a number of websites used by sailors, cruisers, and yacht crews to share information on facilities. These can be great resources, but do take some time to read and research.

d. Read past issues of the local newspaper. Most local newspapers are archived online and are easily searchable. however, this can be very time consuming as well.

e. hire a reputable, experienced maritime security company to gather threat and vulnerability information on the target marina and its host community. There are only a few companies that provide this type of service and are knowledgeable about the security requirements specific to the yachting community, but they are well worth the time and expense. They can usually provide detailed reports on a certain facility along with information on the current political climate of the country and surrounding

region. Some even provide point to point service and will monitor a particular area while you are in the facility.

2. does the facility maintain adequate lighting from dusk till dawn? Look for a facility that has good lighting around the marina buildings and grounds, and that projects a cone of lamination over the waterside approaches to the berthing areas sufficient to see anyone approaching the yacht from that vector. Lighting or lack of lighting can make a big difference for adequately securing a marine facility.

3. are there effective fencing, barriers, and measures for access control and accountability at the entrances to the marina’s docks, piers, and slips? While the marina owner/operator wants the property to be esthetically pleasing, it is also important that access to the piers and slips be effectively controlled. The better facilities will have decorative fencing that prevents access along with access cards for guests and visitors. This type of control provides a much safer environment for vessels. Also remember

to never dock in a slip along the seawall or fencing. This is one of the most vulnerable spots in the facility for unauthorized intrusion. Make sure to ask the marina managers the frequency and degree to which non-marina people have access to the facility (i.e. hotel guests, apartment/flat or condo residents co-located within a facility).

4. does the facility have a working cctv system, where do the images terminate, and what is the established response time in the event an incident does occur? There are a number of facilities that have cameras that do not provide effective coverage, either because the cameras are not properly oriented to the target area, or the lumen rate and pixel strength do not capture an image that is of sufficient quality for use in a forensic investigation or for introduction into evidence in criminal or civil legal proceedings. Like all technology, CCTv systems must be periodically calibrated and maintained to ensure they remain in optimum working order, and provide optimum coverage of common areas and the entrances onto the individual piers. It is even better if the facility’s CCTv system is activity

monitored by a professional security staff that has been trained to respond to incidents in accordance with the marina’s facility security plan and associated standard operating procedures (SOPs). A properly installed and effectively used CCTv system is an invaluable tool for use in insurance claim investigations.

5. is the facility actively patrolled by professional security officers? Many facilities will put a dockhand in a security uniform which is not the best solution. Look for facilities that employ private security officers who understand marine operations. There are a number of facilities that utilize professional security officers and these facilities are much more secure than facilities with no security officers. These officers are usually trained in other areas of marine operations and can be very helpful to crews. Professional security staff will also provide a deterrent to potential issues, especially along a public access pier. They also have a much quicker response to the vessel over local law enforcement. If the facility does have a professional security staff, make sure you get to know them. Their response is usually faster

if they know the caller.

6. Where is the facility located? Facilities that are located within upscale neighborhoods or resort areas are usually more secure than facilities located within a non-marine area, non-regulated commercial marine facilities, or a heavy industrial area. Upscale neighborhoods and resorts typically add another layer of access control to a facility. Regulated facilities usually have a much better security program than non-regulated facilities as they are subject to security compliance audits by the host country’s Designated Authority. however, that isn’t always the case. Also, if the facility is located within a private neighborhood, make sure to ask who has access to the docks and individual slips, and what controls are in place to ensure proper access control and accountability.

7. is the facility well-kept and maintained? I am always big on attention to detail when it comes to marine facilities. I’ve found that well-manicured and maintained facilities usually pay much better attention to security details than facilities that are not as well-maintained. I have observed that when a number of the facility’s

essential services not working, (i.e. shore power, water, pump-out, Tv, etc), their security systems are usually not working properly either.

8. What is the facility’s off-season occupancy rate? Facilities that provide a number of services, are well-maintained and have a strong security program are usually the toughest in which to get a slip. happy clients that are used to receiving the full value of effective security services will always return to a facility where they felt comfortable, secure, and received great service for the slip price.

9. What type of insurance coverage does the facility maintain, and what value does it assign to compliance with applicable security policies and procedures, and how will it impact their coverage of your vessel in the case of vandalism, theft, or loss? Insurance coverage can vary around the world depending on government regulations (or lack of). Since regulations vary so much around the world when it comes to insurance coverage, it is good practice to ensure your vessel’s insurance policy will cover loss due to theft, damage, vandalism or negligence of the facility.


editoriAl

10. to what extent is the marina able to control waterside access to its berths and guest vessels?Control of the waterside access is one of the most important and most often over-looked security issue at many facilities. I’ve seen a number of facilities with very good landside security, but are lacking in the quantity and quality of systems and procedures for protecting vessels, their guests and crew from unauthorized access via the waterside approaches. There are a number of ways to secure the waterside access, but the best way to secure that access is by a waterside patrol. Waterside patrols, staffed by trained and well-practiced personnel, will keep out undesirables and provide a very quick response if you have any problems. Waterside patrols can also be used to provide a number of other helpful services to the facility and its clients.

vessels should also review and revise their vessel security plan and programs at least annually, as needed, or before the vessel’s seasonal transition to a different area of operation. A simple discrete CCTv system, access control system, and intrusion detection/alarm system can help enhance the security of the vessel, its passengers and crew in many situations. It is also a good idea to have a basic “what-if” security plan in place to deal with the contingencies most likely to be experienced, depending upon the vessel’s itinerary, and ensure that the crew receives training and conducts periodic drills to support their effective execution should the need arise.

It should be remembered that installing effective preventive security systems, equipment, and training personnel is ALWAYS most cost and operationally effective than remediating the financial and legal impacts resulting from a preventable security-related incident. Security doesn’t have to be a burden or overbearing and the sky isn’t falling everywhere, but it is a good idea to understand the basics wherever you are headed to keep everybody safe.

If you’ve decided to try this yachting thing and are ready for a charter, your charter agent can develop a complete itinerary for you. Perhaps you’ve decided that you want to explore and enjoy the historic and elegant Rhode Island Coast and adjacent islands. here’s the kind of trip you can expect.

A POPULAR nEW EnGLAnD ITInERARY

Spend a couple of days in the historic and lively town of newport, Rhode Island. Tour a Mansion or two. Do the Cliff Walk with its breath-taking views. Race on the famous 12 meter sailing yachts. Indulge in a private Clam/Lobster Bake at Rose Island. Brunch at the inimitable Castle hill. Enjoy the strolling streets and wharfs that make up this special part of new England. While it’s easy to spend an entire week in newport, you can work with your agent to split up your charter by discovering newport at the beginning and end of your vacation.

Midweek during your excursion, you might travel to Block Island; it’s only a couple hours away but you’ll feel like you’re a world away! Rent scooters to circumnavigate the island. Stunning

cliffs, sand dunes, and incredible landscapes on scenic country roads await your gaze. Tour the lighthouses. Jump in the ocean from one of “Block’s” fabulous beaches, or have the crew take you fishing for Striped Bass. The best vista is at The Atlantic Inn: enjoy the sunset from the Adirondack chairs on the lawn.

From Block, spend the next several days on Martha’s vineyard…home to many celebrities. Anchor or dock in Edgartown and you are nestled among some of the most gorgeous and expensive homes in the nation. A harbor ride by your yacht’s tender is the perfect way to “tour” these majestic homes. Be sure to get ashore as Martha’s vineyard shopping is a must. There’s something for everyone or just an afternoon ice cream or famous fudge in one of the many sweet shops. Renting bikes to take in Oak Bluffs is a must—each street is filled with brightly-colored Gingerbread houses and the marina usually has some action from local and visiting fisherman displaying their catch. Once one of the busiest harbors, the now quiet town of vineyard haven is worth a visit, especially to The Black Dog Tavern for dinner. Rent Jeeps and check out the diversity of the island. Every

corner is a “Kodak-moment.” The best sunset is at Aquinnah (Gay head), complete with a lighthouse and multi-colored clay cliffs.

The final island stop in your itinerary is nantucket, a bit more exclusive than the other two. Once a major whaling port, now well preserved cobblestone streets reveal opulent mansions, antique stores, art galleries and elegant boutiques. Try surfing off one of the many beautiful beaches or explore the towns outside the hub of activity and the nantucket Boat Basin, all of which are accessible by a network of bike paths.

MEETInG YOUR EvERY nEED

The example of a new England charter vacation gives you a good idea what awaits you on your most innovative vacation. You’ll work closely with your charter agent who will help you turn what you imagine for your cruise into a port plan for the yacht’s captain. Once aboard, the captain and crew—who are already well informed of the needs of you and your guests—will make sure your escape is beyond your expectations.

You may even enjoy yourself so much that you decide the yachting way of life is something you want to enjoy more than just once, that being on the water and owning a yacht is your new passion.

Good charter agents know all the right people to advise you in yacht ownership and even the potential for turning your yacht into a charter boat!

SoUthweStAs the gateway to the western United States, San Diego stands as a beacon for an amazing journey! There are incredible marinas, deep water repair facilities and lots to see and do in surrounding California.

If the city bustle is wearing on your crew, find solace in the hip and alternative neighborhood of Ocean Beach. Called OB by locals, this mellow neighborhood has a great vibe with a plethora of bars, restaurants, and interesting people dotting newport Avenue. Known as the haight & Ashbury of San Diego, it was once, and arguable still is, the hippie center of the city. OB is also a favorite of those in yachting culture for its large population of boaters.

The Gaslamp quarter has traditionally been the leisure center of San Diego since the city’s wild west days. Then, Wyatt Earp frequented the red light district for its saloons and brothels. Today the area boasts world-class nightclubs, lounges, restaurants, and bars. We recommend vin de Syrah, with all the feel of a nightclub without the typical cover and long lines, it is styled after Alice’s journey down the rabbit hole. The Corner Bar, The Tipsy Crow, and The Field Irish Pub are also favorites.

Often surpassed by tourists, San Diego’s “uptown” neighborhoods are the true nightlife scenes for locals. Little Italy is the crown jewel of these areas. Redeveloped from decline, it is now one of the most well-managed neighborhoods in the U.S. The Mona Lisa is a featured institution hailing

Other locales to see in the city are Balboa Park, Mission Bay Park, and Coronado Island. All are great spots to go for a bike ride or a relaxing stroll. Point Loma is the city’s boating center and features the Cabrillo national Monument with the most incredible view in the entire region.

The county is unmatched in its offering of pristine and diverse coastline, each maintaining their own local flavor. Coronado is reminiscent of old hollywood,

with its iconic hotel Del being the scene of Marilyn Monroe’s “Some Like It hot.” At mid coastline, Ocean, Mission, and Pacific Beaches offer the California boardwalk scene with boutique shops and bars. In La Jolla, Del Mar, and Torrey Pines the cliffs begin to dominate, showcasing these beaches’ natural beauty and legendary surf spots.

San Diego County is as diverse as California itself. The region boasts rolling hills, snow-capped peaks, and hot deserts. The golf scene is enjoyable year round and includes the world-famous Torrey Pines Golf Course. For a bit of refinement, Temecula is the Southern California wine region just an hour north of downtown with an impressive array of boutique wineries. Another gem is the town of Julian. Set in the mountains, the town is renowned for its apple pies and snow.

We all like to think we know yacht crew, but after eight years of talking to them every month, I still can’t define them. They aren’t all back-packers, though some certainly started that way. They don’t all party too much, though some certainly do. They don’t all look alike, and they don’t all think alike.

After hosting more than 100 captain’s lunches and conducting dozens of surveys, we’ve learned that yacht crew are as unique as the yachts they run. For example, just this year, we’ve learned that despite how far they’ve come, captains always want to advance their career with each new job, keenly aware that how they look on paper—their resume—is critical.

We learned that as much as owners and managers seem to want longevity, captains fully expect their career-minded crew to quit in order to move up. In fact, they encourage it. Longevity is relative, it seems. And appearance plays an important role in hiring, like it or not.

We also learned that about 97 percent of yacht captains and crew have experienced an emergency at sea sometime during their career.

And despite yachting being their career, only about half of yacht captains and crew expect to receive a severance when they leave their current position.

More than 90 percent of yacht crew know how to sail, and two-thirds say those are important skills for all yacht crew.

At The Triton, we’ve always seen yachting as a career and yacht crew as professionals. We’ll continue to ask captains and crew about their jobs, their industry and their futures, because understanding what they think helps all of our businesses thrive.

Lucy Chabot Reed is editor of The Triton, a monthly newspaper for yacht captains and crew. She and husband David Reed, a USSA board member, started the newspaper in 2004.

We have a broad number of styles to mix and match to create a cohesive look: those special pieces that act as the jewelry of the room; the casual pieces that offer the comfort of a pair of blue jeans; the knockout designs that everyone will notice; and of course, those little-black-dress pieces, the go-to designs they turn to all the time that mix well with anything, no matter what the occasion (or room) calls for.

“When I was 14 years old, I watched James Bond fly a jetpack in the movie Thunderball, and have dreamed of flying one ever since. however, after decades of patient waiting, jetpack technology didn’t get any closer to mainstreaming personal flight so I decided to invent a machine that would.”—Raymond Li, Founder & CEO. Raymond Li, a Chinese-born Canadian from St. John’s newfoundland, first sketched out his JetLev concept on a yellow Post-it note in 2000. After seeing his masterpiece on paper for the first time, Ray unceremoniously retreated, filing it under “I” for Impossible by burying it in the trash. The sketch was long gone, however, Ray couldn’t shake his vision...he couldn’t shake his passion. A decade in the making, the JetLev R200 delivers 420 pounds of thrust enough for the pilot to achieve airspeeds up to 25 mph and heights up to 30 feet for as long as five hours on a single tank of high octane gasoline. The JetLev R200 utilizes a 200 hp four-stroke marine engine housed in a small mobile boat. A 33-foot-long hose tethers the boat to the jetpack while delivering water that shoots from the pack’s twin-mounted water nozzles at up to 60 PSI. Robb Report has listed this as the 2011 Top 10 Toys of Summer. MSn featured this as one of the World’s greatest adrenaline highs. You may think you have experienced the greatest adrenaline rush but not until you have experienced the JetLev R200!

For over 15 years, v-KOOL is the leading clear window coating that solves the visibility and appearance problems of conventional window tints and reflective films, while significantly reducing solar heat buildup. v-KOOL technology is based on rejecting heat at the window versus absorbing the heat like ceramics and other film technologies. Independent industry tests show that absorbing technologies add stress to the glass and are less efficient, therefore inferior. When applied to glass, v-KOOL allows up to 70% of visible light to pass eliminating over 96% of infrared and 99% of ultraviolet light. Retrofit your existing windows or apply to your newly constructed windows. v-KOOL, Inc., the exclusive distributor in the western hemisphere, is the clear choice for your need to block the heat while allowing light to pass through. In most cases, applying v-KOOL Window Films is at least half the cost of replacing your windows with high performance glass. Call us to find how big your savings can be!
