Synthetic Sea Legs
Florida Sport Fishing|May-June 2017

IT’S AN UNFORTUNATE CONTRAST, but cruising open water without a care in the world can be quite unsettling for some. Seasickness is an unfavorable condition that occurs when the motion of a rocking boat disrupts fluid in the inner ear. Though it was once the case that homeopathic remedies and prescription drugs were the only ways to prevent mal de mar, Seakeeper has revolutionized the boating experience with gyro stabilizers fit for any vessel.

Synthetic Sea Legs

Did you know the word yacht is roughly translated from the Dutch verb jacht, “to throw up violently.” While seasickness has troubled mariners for centuries and boaters were once forced to earn their sea legs the hard way, the newest technologies have all but eliminated this debilitating condition. Since first introducing its gyro stabilizing systems for recreational vessels in excess of 40 feet in 2008, Seakeeper (seakeeper. com) has continued to perfect its products and expand its line to accommodate more boaters and establish gyro stabilization as a part of the boating mainstream.

A Whole Different Animal - Wild Cats that Got the Cream

MOST ANGLERS HAVE STRONG BELIEFS ABOUT WHAT HULL TYPE IS BEST. Running hard in rough water requires a seaworthy platform with the strength and stability to keep you safe, comfortable and dry. Among the different trends that have consequently become evident from the evolution of center consoles, boat builders are cornering a new niche of complex and competitive catamarans harnessing more outboard power than ever before. Breaking the barrier with innovative hull designs and deck layouts, the newest catamarans offer unobstructed fishability while providing increased fuel economy and speed per applied horsepower.

WE’RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE SOME of the most rewarding bottom fishing north of the equator.

THERE HAVE BEEN COUNTLESS TECHNOLOGIES AND INNOVATIONS inspired by the animal kingdom, with the science of emulating nature known as biomimetics. Evolution has perfected natural designs and environmental approaches over hundreds of millions of years, providing chemists, biologists and engineers with a perfect platform to advance modern materials and manufacturing processes. Learning the way of the lotus leaf has revealed remarkable self-cleaning properties resulting from the unique flora’s ultrahydrophobic surface architecture producing water droplets in nearly perfect spherical shape.

Underwater LEDs

MY CENTER CONSOLE WAS RECENTLY OUTFITTED with full spectrum color-changing underwater LEDs and I can’t wait to test them out. I’m aware of their ability to attract forage and predator species to the boat from dusk till dawn, but are high intensity LEDs effective at attracting life during the day? If so, what color shines brightest amid the natural light of the sun?
