Imagine Owning Your Personal Hovercraft - A Hov Pod
Where do you want to go today?
Hov Pods fly on a cushion of air; so glide across sea,
lakes, rivers, grassland, marsh, sand, snow and ice! No need to bother about
tide times or slipways - turn the key and go! And if there’s no water
around, no worries, you don't need water to have fun.
-
Amazed at just how quick, simple and easy the Hov
Pod is to use.
-
Impressed with Hov Pod’s versatility and range of
manoeuvres and tricks.
-
Staggered at the ability to launch on any tide from
any patch of land.
Forget all about RIB’s, speedboats and other types of
personal watercraft, Hov Pod is versatile and unique, it can travel over
many surfaces that restrict other craft, skim from water to land and back
again! Gliding through long sliding loops! Spinning in wild arcs or tight
360’s! Park up on dry land, no need to wade into cold water to recover the
craft onto the trailer!
How about using the Hov Pod Hovercraft as:
-
A superyacht tender to lower and go anywhere on
water, or straight on to land.
-
A thrillingly different and exciting slide and glide
high speed toy.
-
A way of exploring or getting to all those secluded
or inaccessible places no one else can get to.
-
The way to beat the tides and leave home or reach a
mooring at any time of day.
-
A unique machine for fun or access over any
difficult terrain such as swamps, estuaries, sandbars, flooded ground,
reeds, submerged coral, ice etc.
-
A responsive and economical rescue, survey, patrol
or inspection craft.
-
A team building, activity, adventure, charter or
rental income earner.
Hov Pod is an incredibly versatile, highly exciting and
thrillingly different craft.
The Hov Pod is manufactured in Southampton, England, by
Reaction International Ltd. Company founder and Managing Director Peter
Ward, established the company in the year 2000.
As a marine engineer Peter travelled to many exotic destinations and
pondered on the question, "Why has no one exploited hovercraft technology
for the marine leisure industry?" After a number of years market research,
he concluded that although there were many kit built and racing craft
available, no one had designed a craft to meet the exacting standards
demanded by the marine leisure market.
Marine leisure buyers demand safety, ease of use, durability, reliability,
and expect a dealer network capable of providing on-going sales and
technical support.
The personal watercraft market is huge by comparison to hovercraft. Peter
set out to design a craft capable of addressing all of the known problems
associated with hovercraft, for example, the perception that all hovercraft
are noisy, difficult to control, are known to stop suddenly on water, (known
as ploughing in), and when they do stop on water, occasionally sink!
Not only would his design need to overcome these problems to meet safety
standards, he also wanted the craft to look as good as personal watercraft.
To reach this aim, he contracted out manufacture of specialist GRP (Glass
Fibre) construction to specialist top quality boat manufacturers. By
September 2002, the first craft were ready for launch at the Southampton
International Boat Show, and took the world by storm. Television companies
lined up to conduct interviews and test drive the Hov Pod, and queues formed
as hundreds of people wished to experience the Hov Pod ride. Leading
magazines and National newspapers began to feature the Hov Pod. Film
companies featured the Hov Pod in science fiction and adventure movies, TV
footage was syndicated around the world.
Reaction International Ltd are now busy building an international network of
dealers to provide sales and technical support, and have received orders
from as far away as , Asia, Australia, South Africa and the Middle East. The
Hov Pod is testimony to the fact that if you can invent or develop a new
product that fits a niche market, the world will beat a path to your door,
evident by the growing demand of export orders received by the company.
