Sea Dragon Re-fit 1

Here is our first pass at changing the boat from a racer to a working energy efficient cruiser. By starting with a sailing boat we already have one of the most efficient modes of travel which will really help keep energy costs and global foot print low when getting to our selected sites. We are also making space for a lab and work room so we can collect samples and take a first look at study materials. An organized space is very important for keeping good scientific records for later processing. We are being very careful in our re-fit by reusing as much of the existing materials and space as possible, as well as bringing in eco-friendly material such as sustainably grown wood. Enjoy the video and remember we are not professionals with the camera!
