All hands are on deck in Fort Lauderdale!

Our team is hard at work on this beautiful 86’ McMullen & Wing yacht, powered by twin Kamewa waterjets.

We’re currently installing our Control Stick Classic with dual control stations, designed to provide precise, intuitive control and make maneuvering and docking a yacht of this size considerably easier.

This system will also include several of our advanced control features:

• Convergence — optimizing jet angles for improved performance at higher speeds
• Divergence — improving maneuverability and control at slower speeds
• Enhanced Lateral Control (ELC) — providing increased lateral authority for even greater control when maneuvering and docking
• Manual Dynamic Positioning (MDP) — providing the operator with the ability to maintain the vessel’s position and make precise corrections

It’s a great opportunity for our entire team to be involved in bringing all of these capabilities together on one impressive vessel.

There’s still work to be done, but we’re excited to see this installation coming together. Stay tuned for the finished product!
