David Hall is the founder, inventor, and visionary at Servo Yachts LLC (formerly Velodyne Marine). Educated in mechanical engineering, David Hall founded Velodyne Acoustics Inc. based on audio inventions and numerous patents beginning in 1984. In 2009, Hall turned his attention to marine technology which promises to eliminate sea sickness, eliminate crew exhaustion, and improve safety at sea, at all speeds.

Hall’s invention is a system that radically reduces the rocking movement of a boat platform. It utilizes a real time feedback system, based on computer automated electro-pneumatics. Much like a car’s shocks, which absorb the bumps in the road for a passenger, Hall’s elegant matrix of pneumatic controls efficiently and safely absorbs the dangerous pitch and roll of the sea.
