The Newport International Boat Show Rigid Inflatable Boats- RIBs

Since Kate and I got our Zodiac at Brown’s Yacht yard with help from Rick Nardone and Dave Zingg I’ve become obsessed. I think if people got on one that is configured the right way, that they’d become obsessed too. I think for about 70% of local boaters they’d be a better option than a traditional hard-sided fiberglass boat. Go to Brown’s and talk to Rick about getting one.

Here’s a sampling of the RIB boats at the Newport Inflatable Boat Show. Click each image to see full sized.

The Wohnhaus Project

Wohnhaus

The sun lies low over the snow-covered mountains, reflecting its dazzling light on the surface of the Romsdalsfjord. The view enjoyed by the residents of the Molde house in Norway is like a painting – all thanks to the Schüco FWS 35 PD.SI façade system, which has been installed here in Norway for the first time. Large expanses of glass and narrow profiles create the perfect connection between living space and the surrounding nature.
