Design Winner

DuoGen has been nominated for the prestigious ‘DAME’ awards at the Marine Equipment Trade Show in Amsterdam where the product is to be exhibited.
The award is made every year for the best new products at the Show. METS is the premier show in the world for leisure marine equipment, so this is quite an accolade. The Show is on from 18th – 20th November 2003 at the RAI. Winners will be announced on the morning of the 18th November.
Over 100 new products from all over the world are entered for the award every year, and a panel of experienced and distinguished judges assess the entries on “styling, functionality, construction and innovation in the design”.
It’s going to be one of those ‘Oscar moments’ on the morning of the 18th, and we are very excited. Whatever the final results, DuoGen has gained a place in the DAME 2003 Exhibition, and is very much in the spotlight at this show.

Ocean Challenge 2003

Have you been following Jim Shekhdar’s progress with his latest venture, a solo row from New Zealand to Capetown via Cape Horn? The boat's electrics are powered by a DuoGen. It was planned to begin in September, but additional preparations have delayed the start.
We can report that the intrepid Jim has at last set off from Invercargill, New Zealand. His projected landfall in Cape Town is early May 2004.
We wish him all the best in what is a difficult and hazardous journey.
You can keep up with him on his web site, www.oc2003.com or at the BBC.

ARC 2003

225 yachts are entered for this year’s rally, and they are now gathering in Gran Canaria.

This annual transatlantic rally starting each November in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, has now become the most popular way to cross the Atlantic. Every year the ARC brings together yachts from all over the world in the largest transocean sailing event in the world.
The Caribbean destination is Rodney Bay in St.Lucia, one of the most beautiful islands in the Lesser Antilles. The 2700 nautical mile passage on the NE tradewind route takes on average between 12 and 24 days.

Several of this year’s participants are DuoGen owners, and we wish them a safe and enjoyable crossing.
