The only magazine in the UK produced solely to provide
information to would-be
electric boat owners and those who already have an electric craft.
A glossy publication, free to EBA members, contains a wealth
of interesting articles and news of shows and rallies particularly relevant
to electric boat enthusiasts.
Technical articles of interest to electric boaters and technical tips
offering advice on boat maintenance form regular features of the magazine,
together with information on new products and developments in the electric
boating world, both in the UK and overseas.
Forthcoming events organised by the Association, or at which
the EBA is represented, are also publicised and social events to which
members or enthusiasts are invited to participate are highlighted.
The EB News Magazine reports on the latest developments in the
electric boating world. Each issue contains news from home and abroad as
well as coverage of the most recent boat shows.
