PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Be an Acquabatic
Racer!
Shasta Lake, CA November 2,
2007--Innespace Productions has
just launched their latest submersible
watercraft, the Seabreacher ARL. This high
performance vessel was designed and built
specifically for use in a newly formed race
series, The Aquabatic
Racing League (ARL). Race teams can soon
purchase limited edition hulls, and these teams
will also have an active role in helping engineer
and build their own custom racers.
Innespace is recruiting teams to buy and
operate their own Seabreacher vessels to
race at upcoming
ARL events. Sponsored vessels will
compete head-to-head in a specially designed
course, where they will have to dive under, jump
over, and smash through obstacles, gaining extra
points for hitting aerial targets and
performing freestyle
tricks. With all the thrills of
Monster Truck Racing and Acrobatic Air
racing, this new freestyle watersport will
entertain stadiums of spectators as well as
attract global media coverage.
The current race-ready Seabreacher is
powered by a 250hp supercharged Atkins Marine
rotary engine. It can achieve speeds of
up to 50mph on the surface and a staggering
20mph while fully submerged. Vehicles can dive to a
maximum depth of five feet and can jump out
of the water as high as ten feet. All
these freestyle tricks are made possible with four
independent control surfaces that allow the vessels
to perform with all the maneuverability of an
aircraft (pitch, roll, and yaw).The engine can
continue to operate while submerged by way of a
dorsal fin snorkel. The pilot's
visibility is maintained via
a snorkel-mounted camera that transmits
live video to the dash-mounted LCD screen. This can
also be broadcast live to giant stadium screens so
spectators can get in on the action.
"The ARL adds a third dimension to watercraft
racing," says Innespace co-founder Dan Piazza, "and
we think it will attract serious competitors who
are tired of just skimming the surface."
PRESS RELEASE NOVEMBER 15, 2006
Shasta Lake, CA November 15,
2006. Innespace Productions, co-founded
by Rob Innes and Dan Piazza, has just
unveiled their latest submersible watercraft, the
Seabreacher, recently selected as one of the
winners in Time
magazine's 2006 Best Inventions edition.
The new two seat, dolphin-inspired vessel is the
second model that Innespace has designed and built.
The new Seabreacher is fifty percent larger than
their original vessel in order to accommodate two
full size occupants and larger engine packages. The
current prototype is powered by a 175hp Atkins
Marine rotary engine. The supercharged race version
will putout over 240hp! The stock Seabreacher is
expected to do 40mph on the surface and 20mph while
fully submerged. The three quarter thick canopy on
the SeaBreacher is taken from the new F-22 Raptor
jet-fighter.
The Innespace crafts were featured on the hit TV
show Monster Garage and have performed live
demonstrations throughout the US, including a
nationally broadcast demonstration on the Chicago
River on the Today Show. Their single seat
Dolphin is currently available to perform live
demonstrations at boat shows or other aquatic
events.
Innespace plans to launch their own aquatic
racing event featuring a number of their new
SeaBreacher vessels. Sponsored vessels will race
head to head as they jump over, dive under and
smash through obstacles set along a specially set
up race course. Innespace compares their new event
to the popular spectator sport of Monster Truck
racing.
