Cunning plans and a question...

We have some great stuff for those who win the "I have a Cunning plan" contest but so far it looks like the readership of Boat Bits is somewhat short of the stuff it takes to win...

cunning \ˈkəniŋ\ adj 1  crafty 2  clever 3  appealing n 1  skill 2  craftiness

Folks... Get with the program! You CAN DO a whole lot better!

Where are those avid readers who just love to write me and tell me that electric propulsion is not doable... For sure, since you know so much, we might expect a cunning plan or two from the "I know it all and you don't" crowd. But all of a sudden we get dead silence from those who love to tell me I'm an idiot! Good with the snarky comments but not so good on the cunning plan front! Even the power boaters are all quiet and power boaters do love to pass gas!

On the other hand... Just maybe, I will just make the "I have a cunning plan" contest a permanent fixture here at Boat Bits as having my email sans snarkiness is some kind of wonderful!

Then again if you don't need a great anchor light from BEBI electronics or some glow in the dark goodness from  Glowfast or some neat stuff from TruPlug or a truly superb fishing lure assortment from Hawaii Fishing Lures well it just goes to show that I have been overestimating the IQ of the BB readership...

Contest notes...

Well, to be truthful, the deluge of "I have a Cunning plan" entries are not exactly the stuff of wonderment and... well, cunning!

You folks can do better!

So just as a little bit of an enticement/taste maybe I should mention that BEBI electronics will be providing one of their awesome LED lights, Glowfast will have something useful for a winner, as will TruPlug and Hawaii Fishing Lures ...

Be cunning!

I have a cunning plan...

So here is the nitty gritty on the "I have a cunning plan" Boat Bits contest...

It's simple!

You send us (to the email link at the bottom of the page) a "cunning plan" that made your boat better, improved life onboard, made your boat more Eco-friendly or a way to better sail further on less money.

We are not interested in stuff that has already been published somewhere else or the "same old same" idea reworked for the zillionth time. The clue here is something both cunning and new... The more out of the box the better!

It is something that actually has to be in use...

On January 15th our selection committee will look over the best of the ideas and award prizes...

Pretty simple!

We already have some neat prizes and we keep getting more so by prize time we expect some really good stuff!

Cunning plans and Boat Bits...

We are just in the process of putting the finishing touches on the Boat Bits "I have a cunning plan" contest!

The question of the day of course is whether your "cunning plan" is cunning enough?

More soon come...
