Updates and Details
As you already know, we are diligently working toward getting boats produced as soon as possible. Here are some updates and details.
Latest News
We are scheduled to start production by late October which means shipping should start in November. Our Kickstarter backers will receive the first boats followed by our pre-order customers. Of course, as we know more, we’ll pass that information along.

Here are some of the prototypes we built along the way…
Still quite large prototype clamp
3D printed prototype clamp
Another prototype clamp – getting smaller
Now…
Below is a mockup of the clamp that’s currently being produced to our specs. The production clamp will have a longer angled thumb tab for better control. Much more streamlined than the original, or any of the ones in between!
