Berkeley Marine Center

We recently got to see Grace Quan, a Chinese-American shrimp fishing "Junk" boat, up close and personal. She is a reconstruction of excavated "Junks" from China Camp built by The SF Maritime National Park, The China Camp State Park, And many volunteers, Built primarily from California Redwood using traditional Chinese Shipbuilding techniques. We are glad to have seen her up close and look forward to helping her educate the bay.

Recently, one of our long time customers, Keith & Hal came in for a new bottom coat, and some other detailing work. Last year they had their Wyliecat 30 electrified with an E-propulsion Outboard. They say it has made motor sailing and docking much easier and less stressful, and couldn't be happier with the system. We love seeing it still in use and going strong over a year after its install. Thanks for stopping by again Keith & Hal!

Here's Some Photos We Took at The Encinal Yacht Club!

Hey Guys! Sorry we haven't had much time for posts. Our captain Cree Partridge and electric installer, Sean Shigley, are getting ready for presentations at the Islander 36 Fleet and the Richmond Yacht Club. We will be discussing electric drivetrains/conversions, and boat building. The Islander fleet presentation will be this tomorrow, and the Richmond Yacht Club will be March 5th, hopefully nobody falls asleep! Glass Slipper will be at both events so everyone can come take a look at her hydrogen electric system! We will also be doing a short Q8A after the presentations to answer any questions you might have. We would like to thank both the Islander 36 Fleet and Richmond Yacht Club for inviting us, we are all going to have some fun! We will keep everyone posted. :)

10 of our crew went up to Jamestown to help out a friend in need. On our way back we got a little hungry, and Marco wanted to eat at a "Greasy Spoon" like he saw on TV growing up. We found the best greasy spoon Called "Woods Creek Cafe", with some super unique cow decor and GIANT bread bowls filled with eggs, sausage, bacon, topped with cheese and sausage gravy. After he packed a bread bowl away, he took a seat on the cow-ch. we had to drag him back out to the car before he fell asleep. We all loved the staff and we couldn't recommend them enough!
