Eco Boat Show

Is this a world first? I'm pretty sure it's Australia's first:

Eco Boat Show - Sunday November 18 at Bayview Anchorage, Pittwater. There's no entry fee - it's just a display from enthusiastic individuals and businesses of stuff that you can use right now to make boating more enjoyable and sustainable.

All sorts of goodies on display like:
- transom mounted Watt&Sea hydrognerator:
