Note that New Bedford and Nantucket whalers always chopped the flukes off the whales they'd killed, because in waves the dead whales traveled at 1 knot or so, right over the horizon. That kept their kills immobile while they after the next one. While there are many patents on wave-powered boats, it’s nice to see someone actually commit hull to water, and journey in her.

I look forward to seeing him complete the trip and finding out what speed can be maintained using wave power. An interesting idea.

I've thought about wave power, sure, but even I'd never considered something as straightforward as wave power to power a boat. What a fantastic application. Since it's on such a small scale, I wonder how many watts it can generate. It seems solar and wind power on the sea would also be interesting. Perhaps through a combination of all three we could overhaul our shipping fleets to be carbon neutral... http://www.bravenewleaf.com I chuckled a little bit to myself when I saw this.
