Is that Robb White's boat? As I understand it, she was not quite a Rescue Minor... but a relative close adaptation. She certainly seems to retain all the remarkable shoal draft characteristics that Atkin designed in. Thanks for posting that.

Huh? . What is the propulsion to allow it to come so close to shore?

Propeller.
The prop sits in the 'tunnel'. At dead stop half the prop is above the waterline, but at (almost) any speed that cavity fills up and the prop acts as normal.

Tunnel hull, do a search, it is well documented here. I really like that boat.

Here are Sea Island Boatworks' construction photos from their website. They built the boat in the video: http://www.seaislandboatworks.com/boats/rescueminor.htm
