I've posted a new video at my www.youtube.com/redbarnboats
site on testing the prototype "Beta, pre-production"
version of the Electric Paddle. Joe showed me several things that
will be changed in the final model.

Looks like a noted designer has
reinvented
the lugsail. He goes on to exclaim how his "new"
rig offers outstanding benefits like easy tacks and gybes and
how much better the airflow is on the main when it is not behind
the mast in the turbulence. I guess the offset arm is what yields
all those benefits.

Perhaps you are not into the idea of lengthy
paddling expeditions at all. Whatever your take on
the whole thing, this is one outrageous accomplishment, however
you cut it.

I really enjoy Duckworks - it helps to keep the
dreams alive. Thanks.
While roaming the 'net recently, I came across this piece
of art. I think you might get a kick out of the idea
of building a model - at 1:1 scale!
Enjoy! Paul Windt

They're not very good (phone camera). But this
is a skin
on frame baidarka (18 ft; 22" Beam) and a 16
ft version of A Gary Dierking wa'apa. The sail is a junk rig.

We've developed a new kind of self-contained portable
electric drive system which is the first electric motor system
optimized for portable boats. We call it the Electric
Paddle and we’re proud to start offering it
Q1, 2010.

A thread on the WB Forum talks about how
nice these seats are. Older rear ends such as mine
appreciate such things! I'm considering ordering one if I can
buy it online.

Here's
a site I found useful. If the author seems a little
shrill, remember his point that, even small risks should be taken
seriously when the consequences can be so serious. I remember
being surprised when I first learned that you can develop hypothermia
in our southern New England waters even in the summer time. Jeff

Michael
Storer took these pictures of the new year's fireworks
display in Sydney Harbor. The only boat connection is Michael
himself (seen in the first picture in the elevator mirror), but
that does it for me.
[Nice Shot Michael...]

There are more entries in the 'Project' and 'How
To' indexes and I am still working on them. To see what is there

Originally, the weekend after Turkey Day (2009)
was planned to be a gathering of Laguna people, with Mike Monies
and Jackie bringing down their just-built LagunaDos, with Chuck
and Sandra and John Wright meeting
up with us.

We've got great video of legendary naval architect

There's more. From the impeccably restored Sparkman & Stephens

waterjet drives, we span the globe to bring you the finest boats
afloat.
