Show- ing how it's done For the fifth consecutive year, CNI, in partnership with the Monaco Yacht Show, has made the show CarbonNeutral.

16Isea& iIAUTUMN 2009 An Ovei- dose of wellbeing Even on a superyacht, finding quality time for your-self can be a challenge, so the new Ovei concept may be just what you're looking for. These remark-able immersive multimedia experiences offer a luxurious, distraction- free environment where you can escape in total solitude and at the same time benefit from the relaxing, holistic healing and energy balance regimes that the pod delivers. Remarkably space- saving and flexible enough to be incorporated into any room on your yacht or home, the pods can be customised to suit your lifestyle. Some days you may want a pure, exclu-sive silent sanctuary, other days the integrated aural and visual technologies can absorb you. Light therapies, soothing music and aromatherapy infusions can all fill the pod while you relax, sleep or meditate. Created as a unique wellness tool, the pods can also conduct a number of diagnostic scans from eye, ear and tongue to heat- response. This delivers a diagnosis from which a therapist can then devise a bespoke treatment plan for health and healing. Applications range from treat-ments for insomnia, anxiety and phobias to per-formance improvement coaching for sport and business. Alternatively, use your pod for gaming, web- browsing, watching films, video- conferencing or learning a new skill. Each hand- crafted and each unique, the pods really are the ultimate beneficial, distraction- free environment - and due to their compact size they are perfect for superyachts. Visitors to the Monaco Yacht Show on 23 September can experience the Ovei first hand on board the 70m ( 229') Sherakhan, on display with CNI. The Ovei Original and Ovei 8 Elements cap-sules complement Sherakhan's existing on- board health and fitness facilities, which include a sauna and spa room, beauty saloon and exercise equip-ment. Explains Ovei designer and CEO Lee McCormack, " Private clients who own or charter yachts at this level are looking for a unique, lux-ury cruising experience. We are delighted CNI has seen the value that Ovei capsules can add for its discerning clientele."

Combining his passion for both cars and art, he has undertaken a series of sculptures using Formula 1 parts and technology to create unique sculptures. His pieces include a three- metre- long mako shark and a mackerel fish. From Tokyo to London, Gibson's sculptures have been exhibited worldwide and with their sea theme it seemed only appropriate that they should be displayed during the Monaco Yacht Show. To see Gibson's sculptures, visit the CNI stand. For further information go to www. carbonart45. com.
