Abstract: A system and method for establishing a virtual network connection between an initiating computing device operated by an initiator and a target computing device operated by a target so that one of said computing devices is able to control the other of said computing devices. The system comprises a third party proxy to which the computing devices are connected. The third party proxy receives a request for a virtual network connection to said target computing device from said initiating computing device and requests initiator credentials for said initiating computing device and target credentials for said target computing device. Said credentials are delivered to the respective computing device. The system also comprises a core node configured to receive the credentials from the respective computing device, authenticate the received credentials, and if said credentials are authentic, establish the virtual network connection between said initiating computing device and said target computing device.

Abstract: There is provided launch apparatus (14) comprising at least one moveable arm (18) mountable on a water vehicle, wherein the moveable arm (18) carries a carriage means (20, 20?) moveable between a first position in which the carriage means (20, 20?) is capable of holding a personal watercraft (12), and a second position in which it forms a flat surface. The carriage means (20, 20?) is pivotally moveable relative to the arm (18) and comprises at least one pair of pivotal members (28) which in the first position form a substantially v-shaped guide or channel for receiving a personal watercraft. The angle between the pivotal members (28) is adjustable to accommodate different shaped personal watercraft.
