I think the boat's design is unique, and with the high cost of fuel these days, I'm hoping they are able to make this work!

A Wave for Horie
If you have a moment, check out this site Suntory ~ Mermaid II about a boat that uses Wave Propulsion to sail the seas. While you're there, check out Horie's diary. Horie is sailing this boat from Hawaii to Japan. He has an online diary that provides his daily progress. I've been checking on him since his journey began back in March. Have to give this guy credit for sticking it out this long!

Interesting design, and I have heard of him over there. He has a pretty large following. THere are a number of 'interesting' designs being tested in a number of different applications.

Jim - LOVED the links! I've bookmarked the Strategy page... spent over an hour looking at all the photos... very interesting info on our new developments. Any way we can reduce the dependance on oil/gas is a good thing!
