Project for sailing vessels to maneuver in ports using electric energy from wind- Editor H2ONotes [ 7/21/2010 - 06:45 ] # The car is not the only vehicle that can be propelled electrically.
Lecturers at the Higher Nautical and Naval Engineering Technical School,
Mikel Lejarza, Jose Ignacio Uriarte, Miguel Ángel Gómez Solaetxe and
Juan Luis Larrabe are part of a research team working on an innovative
project: to have a sailing boat that can undertake port manoeuvres (such
as mooring and unmooring) using electric energy obtained from the
movement of the wind in their sails when sailing and thus reduce the use
of fuel and the emission of waste and noise. Having the research skills
in this field, they are working against the clock, given that their
goal is to have the prototype operational in two years. more...

moments and outings with their families, such as adventures on the
family boat.
That's why Sea Ray Boats, in conjunction with Nestle Purina PetCare,
created the Pet and Water Safety (PAWS) program, to help boaters keep
their pets safe and happy on the water. more...

| | | Boat Sharing- Editor H2ONotes [ 7/21/2010 - 06:39 ] #  When you add up the cost of buying a boat, insurance, and marina fees,
not to mention the unavoidable maintenance costs, the thought of owning a
yacht (or even a small boat) may be enough to scare you right out of
the water. This is particularly true in today's tough and uncertain
economy, when the last thing many of us want to do is add another set of
monthly bills to our financial burdens. There may be options, however,
that will help you spend time on the water without spending all your
hard-earned cash in the process, and you might find one is the perfect
solution for you. more...
