Submitted by cac on Tue, 2009-03-31 21:48OK, not boat related, but does involve plenty of water... and building a dream at home, when others think you're crazy.

Berkshire Pontoon has a neat little solar/electric pontoon boat. Twin drives with a joystick control. Looks like it really needs more solar panel space to get full power, but seems ok. read more »
Onawind Blue in fine sailing conditions
While we’re still scraping bottoms and slapping on the antifouling, down on the coast of Spain our friend Ben Crawshaw is already enjoying some fine sailing conditions in his Light Trow, Onawind Blue. It’s enough to make a chap sigh… in fact, words fail me. Roll on the English summer! read more »

Submitted by cac on Sun, 2009-03-29 21:29This is a nice little blog by professional boat building in England. Some beautiful work that really makes me wish I could work with wood like that.
I am Charlie Hussey and I work as a boatbuilder and marine carpenter. I use wood as the primary material to build, restore, repair and upgrade boats of all sorts.
Changes
Submitted by cac on Sun, 2009-03-29 17:24Sorry about the quick turn time on this latest site change. I normally try not to change things (visually) quite so often, but that last experiment just really hadn't panned out.
The "all white" look wasn't very well received. So we won't go back quite to all black like we used to be, but maybe we can have a happy medium.
I do notice that this change has improved load times some... hope to keep that aspect if nothing else.
I'll try to keep things calm.
Thanks!
Bruce
