Its more than just dreaming.

A few weeks ago I completed a first logistical trial route in the Puget Sound delivering Organic Produce from farm to market using wind and tide.

Ive also been working on cost models to make it work successfully starting "now" not some time in the future.

The farmers are screaming when is the next run. To run more demos I need sail crew (requirements are you dont get bored when the engine is off, show up for the delivery and dont mind loading and unloading by hand) and some people with some marketing experience (preferably who sail, there are enough useless marketing people out there) Anyone interested?

I really hope this forum is full of people who are as determined to see sailing vessels become actually usefull again as they are to go engineless.
