Space age flight deck of the Command module.

This sinister looking craft might resemble Darth Vader's imperial shuttle in Star Wars but it is actually a high-speed boat that uses its clever design to reduce the risk of seasickness.

The vessel, called Ghost, uses two 12ft winged struts that stand on twin hulls to lift the main craft clear out of the water.

This allows the Ghost to reach speeds of 33 knots even when faced with waves of 8ft high.
