THE OTHER SIDE TO THE BOAT SHOWJet skis have become even more popular this year and there are at least four stands offering a complete range from 85 horsepwer to 135 horsepower. Prices range from 1.6 million to 1.9 million pesetas. Also this year, they are offering the the semi-rigid inflatable jet-boats in a choice of six different models which can hold up to seven people. These are more expensive (2 to 4 million pesetas) and have much more powerful motors (220 horsepower).
This electric car is on display
this year which is built by Rotax, a division of B.M.W.. The price
range is between 3 and 4 million pesetas depending on which options
you choose. It takes 8 hours to recharge on standard mains, has a top speed
of 40km and a range of approx. 50 km.
Imagine that you are Jacques Cousteau in
your new SEAHORSE from Hipocampo. This contraption has its own acqualung
built-in, electric motor, radio and/or recording equipment. Your head and
shoulders are kept dry, no need for masks and regulators, as it travels
at up to three knots, dives to a depth of 15 metres with a range of about
one hour.
Tired of scraping and painting your boat or decorating your apartment? Rent a Campnautic for a week and go to the mountains. This is a completely self-contained recreational vehicle which can be rented here in Palma. With shower/toilet and kitchen, some models can sleep up to eight people and be plugged into outlets in public campgrounds for electricity and water. The deluxe model has a folding awning, air-conditioning, colour T.V., electric windows as well as a quadrifonic radio/tape player.
Another recreational oddity called the Twister is being offered by Russell at Nauti-Parts for the young and the young-at-heart. There are also the Warbird, ski-trix and E-Z rider to choose from. These are just some of the inflatable innovations that you will see in the bay of Magalluf this summer. |
