Mike steps on board us just as we deliver two more Quantum Reach fully articulated boom crane, one for 'Pegasus', and one for 'Sarita'. 'Sarita' also added a QT thruster and our FAL 124 AVA conversion to her equipment list. We hope you will join the staffs of Quantum Marine Engineering, Quantum Stabilizers, and Quantum Savannah in welcoming Mike to our corporate family.

     The fall season is upon us, and we hope we can see you at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, October 26-30, 2000 and also at the Marine Equipment Trade Show in Amsterdam, November13-16, 2000. Our booth number in Fort Lauderdale is 559, and you can find us in METS at booth 1348.

     Quantum will be exhibiting for the first time at METS this year, and we are all looking forward to this prestigious venue. Mike also has been asked to speak at Project 2000, before a distinguished group of the most influential design and production people in international yachting. Our Integrated Hydraulic System generated the excitement and the invitation, and Mike's paper is entitled "Integrated Systems- Getting it Right." That fits Quantum like a glove…. John Allen will be in Amsterdam for this effort, along with Peter Florence, Michael Bartlett, and Cori Dana.
