Amphibious toys for expedition yacht

An amphibious Hummer?   Certainly a cool toy to have on an expedition yacht

Well, it’s not available for sale yet but this should be about the ultimate amphibious toy you can have. See more at the site of Gibbs Technologies in the UK.

As the video shows, they actually have a working model but production hasn’t started yet.  Too bad. Get some investors guys!

On the other hand, the Australian manufacturer of SeaLegs has made something less ambitious but at least it’s available now.

Certainly not for heavy duty or the tropics but probably a lot more affordable

Unfortunately, it uses an air-cooled engine on land that can only be used for 10 minutes (New Zealand circumstances I assume) before it gets too hot.  That’s probably less than 5 minutes in tropical Panama so, not much of a practical option in our case.
