What The Ocean People Family Is Doing In Our Next Ten Years:
We’re currently developing our Hurricane Hunter product, click this link to read the story.
The Hurricane Hunter will look a lot like the Pocket Rocket (below), except very smooth and streamlined. She won’t have hatches for people to store fishing lines and boat gear in, or places for people to sit and steer. She won’t need them because she’s an autonomous vessel, or “self-driving robot sailboat”.
(Below) The prototype for the Hurricane Hunter, this is our 18-foot Pocket Rocket, with Jack steering and acting as a human boom vang, while Dad hangs out (we in Hawaii have perfected the art of hanging out as much as humanly possible; come practice with us!).
The Hurricane Hunter’s job is to collect weather and ocean data and send it back from thousands of miles out at sea, for months at a time, with no human intervention or risks to life and limb required.
(Below) Our 24-foot Coconut heading out into The Blue Zone; what we call the offshore waters near Hawaii, where the visibility is usually over 100 feet straight down. Coconut is the prototype for our Island Bus and Island Taxi series of personal transportation watercraft. 
After we’ve got the bugs out of the Hurricane Hunter Version 2.0, we’ll make two special-purpose versions of her: 1. “The Lfeboat”, which is a 32-foot-long Search And Rescue version designed to rescue sailors from mishaps at sea hours or even days before conventional rescue efforts can reach them, and 2. The Hurricane Hunter, both described at the link above.
(Below) Coconut looks fast just sitting at the dock. 
Next, we develop the Island Taxi and the Island Bus. They’re described on this page. The Island Taxi is going to be very much like Coconut, except completely autonomous: think “Self-Driving Taxi on the water”.
(Below) We’re building our first Island Bus right now, a 38-footer for the island of Taumako out in the Solomons; she should launch sometime in November 2022 ().
The reason we’re building the Hurricane Hunter and the LifeBoat is to make some money so we can implement the Taxi and the Bus in The Third World. Read about them if you want to understand why we’re really doing this.
(Below) Coconut looks skinny, fast, unsinkable, and uncapsizeable. She is.
(Below) 24-foot-long Coconut coming out of Kawaihae Harbor on The Big Island. The first Island Taxis will be about 4-1/2 feet longer.
We’re excited! We can’t think of anything better, or more fun to do with our lives.
