Asanagi
Ideas for a boat started in the late 90’s; abandon in 2002 as not as yet being technologically feasible; reborn in 2003 much compromised so as to be feasible. For more background go here.
April, 2004 contract signed with completion scheduled for September, 2005 - completed September, 2007.
Original wish list first presented to Alwoplast, the builders, used plans of one of their previous boats as a starting point.
Guests’ manual/guide is here - last updated April 17, 2007 provides and overview of many of the boats systems and operation.
