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.
12′ Trimaran Goes To Small Boat Festival

Hawea Launched
My 48′ daycharter catamaran built by Pedigree Cats was launched June 6th 2024 at Raymond WA.
The boat was built for Woody Brown, son of the inventor of the Hawaiian beach cat. After sea trials it will sail to Hawaii.
It will be operating on Waikiki beach.
Attended 2023 Wooden Boat Festival
Did the Port Townsend Wooden Boat festival. Mostly silverbacks attending.
I ran into legendary boat builder Sam Devlin. He was leading a designer forum in the afternoon.
When I showed up he told me to join him at the table.
I got to tell my story about how in the late 80s Seattle was a hotbed of marine design technology.
