What\'s happened to Yellowfin?

It's been 2 years since the press tested a couple of prototypes and there was a bit of a publicity splash but since then, er, zilch AFAIK. Website still up but no news update since 2006
Anyone know what's happened to a product that was supposed to revolutionise motor boating?
 
Re: What\'s happened to Yellowfin?

It looked great and I think they even got so far as fitting one to a rib.

Last i heard they were trying to do a deal with an engine manufacturer, so I guess that suggests they were looking for a cash injection for further R&D

It would be a shame if it fizzled out as it looked like a good bit of kit

Yes I saw it in action (impressive) on a big RIB, but agree too quiet.

I think in the end this techn will be the ultimate way forward as these hanging pod type jobs are too exposed. Unless a la cruise ships they can 'hide' behind the bulk of the hull.

I'm told they're going through a process of restructuring (I believe that's a posh way of saying your skint) and are looking at a possible application in the military market.
