Multihull Club Meeting in Seattle May 1

[ejlindahl]

Seems like we get a few guests to our Northwest Multihull Association meetings from announcements in general forums such as this so here is one for May:

May 1: “The 2012-2014 cruise of Ginny and Steve Ladd in the rivers of South America and how that has led them to their next boat, which is a proa in progress.”

Northwest Multihull Association meeting at Puget Sound Yacht Club on Lake Union, 2321 N. Northlake Way, Seattle. Potluck starts at 6:30 pm, then club meeting approx. 7:15, then presentation will start around 8:00. Non-Members are always welcome. For more information: www.nwmultihull.org or (206) 795-2111

Sounds like an interesting presentation, Eric. Unfortunately our trips to the PNW seldom line up with NWMA meetiings.

Cheers,

Yes Joe it should be interesting. These are small boat sailors and they went far up streams that most folks never see or can't get to. I am real curious to learn what they saw. Also hoping to have a member bring his real cool pedal drive for the R2AK but don't know if he's game for that.

Wish I could make it back down for this, but will look forward to joining next time I'm in town for the meeting!

Bump.* The guy with the R2AK pedal drive will be bringing some pieces of it and a few pics of the*completed unit, (he has 2, one in Mexico completed*and one here that he is still assembling).* He works for an outfit that builds high pressure abrasive water jets that cut metal etc and built them as part of some research.* They look to me like they belong on a high end bike, all drilled out with hardly any alloy left, different than what I've seen at the R2AK starts.* He'll do a complete presentation in October when the club reconvenes after the summer break.* The main presentation is still Steve and Ginny getting way up the creeks in S. America on a small boat.* That will be interesting too.***
