Small boat theory,John Welsford




So we now see a massive surge in the price of petro chemicals,oil has just gone past U$24 per barrel now (Hong Kong) this equates to a minimum of 500% as a petrol price increase in about five years, probably more if your running a diesel engine? A while back I thought we should be looking at power boats and you may have noticed some on our web site,the idea still holds true for those who need the flexibility that power craft can give,fishing and waters not suitable for sailing come to mind but now my mind is also looking to boats that are super fuel efficient,either by using very little or none at all! One of our designers, John Welsford ,has a number of suitable craft,check his web site out at http://www.jwboatdesigns.co.nz/ his range of both power and sail craft is large and we have a selection of his plans in stock,plus have produced some as kits too,to date the Navigator (pictured above) and the Houdini but we are open to most of the others John has created too.
