## The marker boats behind the world's fastest racing

## Questions from clubs and race officers

### Can marker boats be shipped between venues?

Yes. The pods unbolt and reassemble, so a fleet can be packed down and shipped to the next venue.

### Can we have them in our club colours?

Pods come in black, grey, yellow, blue, green, magenta, orange, camo or a custom colour.

### Do you supply marinas?

Yes. Float Pod jetties, work barges and service pontoons. Tell us the layout and we'll quote.

## Built by real people. Proven on the water.
