The
British Marine Federation is an organisation which
exists to promote and speak for the marine industry.
National
Boats Shows very kindly arranged for the first Solar
Navigator (swath design) to be included in their Concept
2000 stand at the London Boat Show at Earls
Court. A number of contacts were made
at the show and the public got their first viewing of
the prototype vessel in 1/10th scale. Comments
made by the public were recorded in a book over a
weekend - demonstrating significant interest in solar
power for propulsion. Very many thanks to Joe
Laredo and the BMF for their generous hospitality on
this occasion.
