Extraordinary boats wanted

A request from friends in France: “We are organizing a boating event in Deauville in July 2013 focusing on innovation and ecology. The aim is to bring together solar boats, hydrogen motors, kite boats etc and present to a large audience the vessels of the future.”

If you are interested in this event, please contact me and I will pass on your details.
