Frank Russell found this 1963 vintage C/S/K catamaran at a California dock in 2003 - in need of some love. He took it home to Long Island, and undertook a complete restoration - the fine result was relaunched June 2005, and christened Hula Kai. Read about the project here.

In Tahiti, a twenty meter va'a motu named 'Te Ara Taura' is being built to an ancient pattern in Koa wood. "I want to revive traditional navigation in the Polynesian triangle and encourage the vacant youth to travel in the wake of their ancestors", says Clement Pito, originator of the project.

A photo tour of the Lake Union Festival of Wooden Boats on July 4, 2005, at the Center for Wooden Boats, in Seattle. No multihulls, but plenty of beautiful boats, and plenty of “old-fashioned” ideas that are now cutting edge when viewed through the sustainability filter.
Not much in the boating world is prettier than lapstrake smallcraft. The big green bow in the back belongs to Wawona - a lumber trading schooner. Cruising Blues and Their CurePosted: 07/20/05 |

From the Way Back Machine: a wonderful article by Robert Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) originally published in Esquire, May 1977. Thanks to John F. for bringing it to my attention. Only it didn't work out that way. Within six weeks they were through. The boat was back in Florida up for sale.

Went to the Seattle Oil Awareness Meetup this evening. Had a great time meeting F2F with people who are tuning in to the Peak Oil "Long Emergency". About 15 of us made it this month. Lots of talk about gardening, becoming energy efficient, sharing info, and rebuilding local community, and a little about wars for oil. The difference between this and the endless internet PO hand wringing is that we're real people living in close proximity, who actually have a chance to do something about it. I volunteered to give some time this month.
