Plywood Source
My boat builder, Matthew, recommended this marine woods company. Caught my attention as they sell 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and so on. Top quality plywoods.
Boat Hybrid Power
A pure electric boat is still pretty tough to operate in the real world.
For now a hybrid seems like the best choice.
I met my 48′ daycharter customer at IBEX where he showed me his add-on electric motor.
www.integralsolutions.com.
Looks pretty cool.
The top one is an add-on with an existing engine. The lower one is for a new installation.
Back From IBEX
I got back from IBEX last Friday. Finally kind of caught up. Over the next few days I will show the products that caught my attention.
First, glow in the dark switches. On my spaceship I bought www.cpperformance.com.
They are beautiful but they require all 5 leads be correctly attached. It took me asking for help online and a half a day to figure out how to do that.
At IBEX I found glow in the dark switches that only require 2 leads. Yes!

12′ Trimaran Goes To Small Boat Festival
In late July I took my 12′ trimaran design to the small boat festival.
It was the only yellow boat there. And the lightest. It wasn’t really my crowd. All the other boats were heavy timber classics. While there I learned that small monohull guru, John Wellsford would be there.
