Yeah,

Pleased with the Hydes giving loads of power, proven at Inlands now.

We have now had to turn our attention to the tall silver twig that controls the sails.

Thats what I call out of class!!! rule 13.3 states in part "no window will be less than 150mm from any edge of the sail to witch it is fitted" it also says that total window area in any one sail shall not exceed 0.19sqm. Cant say without a tape but looks big to me. If that is allowable perhaps we could have nonwoven sails with a small patch of woven cloth and call the sail the window insta=esd of vece versa.

That's not a window, it's a pair of french doors.



Health & Safety gone mad, perhaps crews don't shout STARBOARD!!! on these waters.



Can't read how it can be in class, probably the 'window trial' carried out last year, or whenever.



I see that 'Rooster' charge you per window, this sort of thing could get pricey?

Yes the new P&B's are under development but are already very fast.



Please contact P&B for more details / prices on 01604 592808



Also notice the shroud adjustment system copied from your boat which I forgot to retension resulting in an alarming sidways bend in the mast... whoops.

lookin good Mark, perhaps we can see some of the construction.
Fantastic hull Chris, the quality is superb, I am sure the finished boat will be unsurpassed.

Barney tells me it is see through! The foam inside is what is green. The gell coat is clear so they can see how well the moulding went. The boat will be painted.
