On this site you will find a basic guide to the sport of hovercraft cruising. I hope you find it useful!

The main purpose of this site is to show some of the exciting things you can do and the places you can go with a hovercraft. I've tried to be as honest as possible - all of the good and bad stuff is here. I hope it will encourage and inspire you to look at hovercraft in a new light - they are a truly unique and capable machine that open up new possibilities for water users. All of the information found here is my own opinion based directly on my personal experience.

 

Under Building a Hovercraft you will find the build and maintenance diaries for the three craft I have built (so far!).

The Hover trip diary contains a list of most of my hovering experiences to date for all craft.

The videos and picture libraries contain a selections of images of my craft in action together with some other interesting clips (I don;t post new clips to this site any more - they are all now available on YouTube at  http://uk.youtube.com/user/jarobhov)

If you have any comments please contact me . If you have found this site useful please sign my Guestbook - thanks!

Sevtec Site moves HERE!

Barry Palmer ("Mr Sevtec") retired earlier this year - the full range of Sevtec hovercraft plans are now available from Amphibious Marine. They sell kits and parts also but all parts to build a Sev (except Props) can be sourced in the UK and Europe (look at the parts supplier pages for metric equivalnets on this site).  Barry's web site is now hosted HERE on the hovercruiser site - it contains a lot of interesting historical and design information on hovercraft (and hang gliding, etc).
