Peter Florence, the head of Quantum Stabilizers , the world's largest independent source for Vosper stabilizer service and parts, wanted me to fill everybody in on a new addition to our team, Issmael Muorie. Issmael proves that we are gathering the best Vosper stabilizer technicians from around the world into our expanding roster.

     Issmael, born in Syria, recently married and is settling here in Fort Lauderdale. In addition to his sixteen years of Vosper service experience, he speaks English, Greek, Arabic, and Portuguese. His experience all over the world includes ten years in the Greek Merchant Marine, and Peter is proud to welcome Issmael to Quantum Stabilizers. As we expand into more and more areas and markets, we continue to focus on technical excellence, experience, and the Quantum Quality that our loyal friends trust us to provide.

     We would also like to welcome Cheoy Lee into the elite group of builders using Quantum equipment. The new "SEASHAW II", currently building, incorporates the Quantum Integrated Hydraulic System, the QT 200 thruster, and a four-fin ZeroSpeed^tm stabilizer system for "at anchor" and underway stabilization. In addition, "Gallant Lady", Feadship hull #651, just completed the conversion to OnAnchor(tm) stabilization, the Quantum upgrade to her Vosper 3L stabilizers. You'll be able to pick these boats out in any harbor- they're the ones not rolling! Mike Perkins and Peter Florence can fill you in on all the details of this astounding technical accomplishment that will work on a wide range of vessels.

     We hope to see you all in Monaco in September at the Monaco Yacht Show, here in Fort Lauderdale in October at the International Boat Show, or in Amsterdam at METS in November. We're also planning to participate at Project 2001, held in conjunction with METS, so stay tuned.

Best wishes,
John Allen
