The problem when a St Francis hits a reef, and the solution. Rodney made this replacement keel in 3 days flat for a boat that grounded on the US East Coast. Full infusion of 30kg's - spot on target weight. Will be with the boat by next Thursday.

The last few days for our 2 interns. For the last month they have been stretched with some lamination, weights and balance calculations, sorting out the fastener rack, and generally making themselves useful around the yard. Good luck with your studies guys - see you next year maybe.

SF 500-02 is the most sophisticated catamarans we have done to date. She features over 2000 amp/hours of battery life. She can cruise at 8 knots under battery and she can regenerate it all in less than a few days under sail alone. That's without mentioning the 2000 watts of solar power available on top of that. She operates 240Vac, 110Vac, 48Vdc, 24 Vdc, 12 Vdc, and can cross link between them all.
Silently, she provides power for cooking, airconditioning, propulsion, simultaneously regenerating it all at the same time. MAGIC!
Launch day soon.
