- 17 years ago
http://www.TheBoaters.TV EP 37 - First up today, there are numerous projects currently underway to conquer the world's waterways with solar-powered vessels.
"The Loon," a 20-foot pontoon boat topped by a custom 738 solar panel, is the world's first commercially-available solar-powered recreational vessel: http://www.tamarackelectricboats.com
Next, the Swiss-made catamaran "Sun21," a 46-ft long solar electric-powered catamaran, undertook the first motorized trans-Atlantic crossing using solar power only: http://www.transatlantic21.org
Next up: Folding Kayaks are Seaworthy, Portable, and Fun to Assemble! A great website to learn about folding kayaks is http://www.FoldingKayaks.org
We feature a charming video from Aaron Tinling over at http://www.Navagear.com demonstrating the assembly of a 20-year-old Klepper folding kayak.
Finally today, blogger Adam Turinas over at the http://MessingAboutInBoats.Typepad.com blog recently conducted a poll where he asked readers to submit their favorite sailing songs. We reveal the Top 10 Results.
