Sailboat Designs
The Eco MizersI have been a closet greenie for a while much preferring sail to power options. But Graham has changed my mind in some respects. Graham has designed 3 different power boats that all fulfill a different niche yet retain above average fuel economy. Each uses smaller power plants than one would typically expect due to taking advantage of high quality Marine Ply and cold moldings for stiffer, stronger and lighter hulls. In addition some of the boats feature hull form tweaks to optimize economy. In addition to providing better fuel economy on the water than you would expect in similar craft they are all fairly lightweight craft. Easily hauled home on a trailer behind smaller vehicles allows you to be greener (or more economical) in your tow vehicle options as well. Less money spent on gas and towing means more money to spend on other boating related toys. Whats not to like with that?? Outer Banks SeriesA Maine Lobster Boat with Downeast Flavor
