Well we made it to Australia, and have just spent 2 days meeting with the team at Azzura Marine. Azzura will be handling all aspects of the construction on the Marten 67 sailboat. We just wanted to post some pictures of the boat as it is now so that you can continue to monitor the progress as we move forward. More photos and details to come when we return,

We have made the pledge to be as green as we can be! We are recycling all our scrap metal, all our scrap paper and shipping supplies, our waste chemicals, paint etc. We have switched to all CFL lighting throughout the facility and installed programmable thermostats. We have upgraded to more fuel efficient shop vehicles, a V-6 delivery van and a propane powered fork truck. As small business it is a reality that we will be contributors to landfill waste, carbon footprints etc. But we also feel that every small step helps. Some day we dream of our big, new, ultra-energy-efficient shop, but for now we’ll just keep making our current home as environmentally responsible as possible.
