The Bear Mountain 30 Hybrid Electric Launch Officially Hits the Water
Hello friends, We are launching the solar/electric fantail launch about 2:00 pm on Tuesday June 22 at the Mark Street Pier in Peterborough, Ontario. Parking is available just east of the pier on Maria Street at Roger's Cove. Please join us if you can. We expect to wet the bottom and then spend some time testing systems etc so it likely won't be all that exciting but we wanted to let you know. And if you cannot make it on such short notice, see our itineray for the summer below. Please call or email us to arrange a time when we could take you for a cruise. Here's to fair winds and happy travels!
