"Imagine being able to position an 18 ton boat to within a milimetre in a howling gale " Instant planing ??

Maybe its good , but had a look at the site and I am still none the wiser as to exactly what it is , and after reading a claim like that above I lost interest ,

I had pretty much the same reaction.

I'd even settle for a decent picture of the thing, since they don't have a technical description.

There was quite a long discussion about them recently Infinitely Variable pitch surface drive

Not on the market yet, but a very interesting concept.
