Welcome to the Microship Gear Shop!

We have spent well over a decade developing a pair of Microships — geeked-out amphibian micro-trimarans with pedal, solar, and sail propulsion.  Packed with technology, these boatlets have become a testbed for a wide range of tools perfectly scaled to kayaks and other tiny boats. Based on this experience, we present this little storefront for our favorite gear... so others can benefit from our research.  Everything here has been tested and recommended by Nomadic Research Labs.  Each item is accompanied by a personal commentary, and when you click the link, a catalog page will open in a new window where you can purchase directly from the vendor. The price is the same as if you had gone "direct," but we get a few nickels in the process. This is not a comprehensive collection of everything in the industry, but instead reflects only the products that we use and trust.  It brings together a wide range of sources... kayaking and camping gear, solar power, communication systems, electronics packaging, and more.  We are geeks, after all!
