A new boat from new moulds available now.
|
The hull whilst being the current 'wide bow' thinking has a slightly more vee'd entry and not as bulbous as the other current boats available, making the boat kinder through the water. The water line length has also been maximised and the aft rocker is as flat as the rules permit.
|
|
Inside, the forward part of the centreboard case will be a low as practical to save those shins, the substantial jib bars will go from the front of the case to the side tanks in line with the shrouds forming a rigid frame and negating the need for an extra bulkhead.

The centre board case rises after the thwart onto a flat table to allow owners a free hand in the way they like their controls.
The deck has been made functional as well and atheistically pleasing. The aft tank has the recess for the spinnaker sheets and the coming is designed for function and comfort without looking too imposing. The foredeck comes back further than other builders but just far enough to add extra strength and rigidity to the mast area without fouling the kicker.
Both hull and deck moulds have been made to enable them to be laminated using the 'Infusion' method which requires a wide flange to attach and seal the vacuum bag. A large oven has been constructed to post cure the hull and deck, internal and construction details are under wraps at the moment but look out for some very different thinking!
The pictures show the first boat sailing, the hull mould ready for waxing and the deck mould being prepared for the vacuum and infusion.
