Eric,
The $250,000 will pay for part of the construction. We are starting with a freshly minted Endeavour Catamaran 36 footer which normally sells for $389,000. The cost of batteries, motors, solar panels, wind turbines, and all the other unique gear will drive the price up from there. Then after it is constructed, it will embark on a three or more year educational and public relations tour that is currently budgeted at over $150,000 per year. We expect to offset some of these costs with sponsors but we need to generate contributions to move forward. The Pepsi grant would pretty much solve all of our immediate funding.
I hope I can count on you to visit www.refresheverythi
