Dear visitor:
The Stainless Steelhead website database experienced a serious issue during an upgrade some weeks ago and has proven difficult to restore. Fortunately, the project has been dormant during that time.
For the time being, you can enjoy the page archives preserved at the Internet WayBack Machine (https://web.archive.org/web/20190628035032/http://stainlesssteelhead.mirmak.com/) - please consider donating to them to ensure other websites can also be preserved. Note that some videos may require downloading before playback will be possible.
For autonomous boat projects which actually made successful voyages, a good reference is the Make Magazine July 2021 issue. In particular, the LoC.A.R.B effort by Adrian Li pursued a highly similar design to what was proposed here, but with real execution: massive testing, great documentation, and an amazing 1500-mile odyssey across the Pacific Ocean. Should Nematon appear in reality anytime soon, it will benefit enormously from his experience and generosity in sharing his findings with the world.
In the meantime, keep building…
