US startup to commercialise electric foiling skiff

An American start-up is looking to bring electrically-powered hydrofoils into the mass market with an innovative aluminium skiff that it says is “made for average boating families in terms of price and wow factor.” Epoch Boats was founded last year by two US marine industry veterans – Tom Ward, former director of engineering at Lippert Components and director of engineering at SeaStar Solutions/Dometic, and Diane Seltzer, former marketing director at SureShade/Lippert Components.
