What people are talking about in Paris...

Greenwashing in aid of profits, an entertaining/educational app, and in the "Just in time for Christmas" department...

For a long time I've been pondering where or not to buy a Ryobi electric weed-whacker with the intention of morphing it into a dinghy propulsion device. As it happens, apparently, one of the big interest items at the Paris Boat Show is this electric godille (sculling oar). Bateaux magazine has an interesting write up on the motor as well.



Of course, being a product aimed at folks on boats it is a whole lot more expensive ($1600) than it should/could be. That said it is a pretty good proof of concept for me to get that Ryobi weed-whacker and get to doing.

So it goes...
