This site is dedicated to all of you that are dreaming of building, that are in the process of building,
or have already built their own Hovercraft. I wanted to share with you the trials and tribulations
of constructing my craft. You will also see how I modified and made what I consider to be
improvement to a Sevtec Vanguard design to suit my personal requirements. |
Location:
Tarpon Springs, Florida USA |
Model & Manufacturer:
Vanguard by Sevtec, Inc. |
The Vangaurd design is a creation of designer Barry Palmer of Sevtec, Inc. It took me about a year and
a half after my first contact with Sevtec before I had everything lined up and ready to begin my construction. Barry Palmer has spent many years designing his versions of surface effect vehicles and has created
several unique and functional designs. After much consideration over whether I wanted speed or function, I decided a Sevtec would fit the bill for my need of a "sport utility" SEV. Because my use
of a hovercraft is a little unique, I decided to design in a few changes to the original plans. This is why I now call my craft the
"Discoverer"

Please be advised that the Sevtec plans were only used as a basis for my craft. You need to be aware that many things about my craft are custom and of my own design. Please do not contact Sevtec about
my changes as the designer cannot provide you with any assistance regarding these modifications to his plans. If you decide to incorporate some, or all, of the changes I have made then you do so at your own
risk. Serious injury can result from alterations to original designer's plans without proper design experience, training and/or testing of the craft. |
