WHAT'S HAPPENING AT BIG FOOT MARINE—

Eco Tour/Raven Prototype Workboat

In the research and dev elopement stage is the unique Eco Tour 29. A primary reason that more people are not able to enjoy the fantastic cruising that is to be had in some of the most pristine, sometimes treacherous, waters of the world is because the right boat has not been made available. The Eco Tour 29 is our attempt to design a vessel to fill this need. Please, take a look at the pages devoted the Eco Tour 29 to learn more about the exciting potential which exists in this vessel.

"Raven" is a 29 foot work vessel. This Eco-Tour Prototype is 50% comple. In its simplest form it is a seaworthy open work vessel. The Raven's simplicity is an attempt to get a functional large foot print work platform available to the public at the lowest possible cost.

We began building the Raven prototype on April 1st, 2005 and less than three months later she is nearing completion. Check out the Raven page for more imformation.

With the first Townsend 47, Peregrine, recently launched into the waters of Puget Sound, we are pleased to announce the results of her initial sea-trials (see Townsend 47 page). The long-distance cruiser will not want to miss this opportunity to learn about this impressive vessel.
