It looks pretty already.

Nice work so far but there is a lot of work to do. 

Are you planning to cross deck the rig from Antidote or have you got that sorted by another means?

80%, being out of female moulds, not much fairing needed before spraying,

Yes but there is a major mismatch with the colour schemes so will be using other sails for the show

If you paint her lime green and put anti's sails on you could call her tik tak- then get sponsorship from a certain compass manufacturer.

Or paint her orange and get sponsorship from a major mobile network.

Painting done, name decided based on my first thought when I ripped of all the masking "Marmite".

I really like my tiller extension based string T foil adjustment system but I it would be better without the additional load of trying to push a lifting T foil down when adjusting it at speed

 Yes very nice.  Marmite is an apt name.
The painted/carbon look is really nice.  Now both E6's have the strip of carbon showing on the aft beams. could be a design trade mark.

Will look great on the show stand and will probably clash with everthing else we have.

Now if there is a chance to get it on the water then we are at least in the running for the best boat in show again.

I know that is an ask given the time left and I do not expect it to be achieved.

Sorry, don't think there is much chance, getting wet or best boat.
