Ah i see i wasn't quite sure as to what state the boat would arrive in. I shall rephrase my question; are you coming down to bbsc with the finished version. I'd love to race it in the 600 and see how they compare  ;D

And finally, 2699 is in the garage here in London!

There are some photos on her webpage.

Now all we need are some fittings, foils and rigging......

Looks real good Will & Lucy. I take it you were weighing it when that shot was taken! Whats the damage then? As for my boat it is is nowhere near as complete! Still sanding and sticking.

looks great :)

i'm dissapointed I couldn't come and see the boat being painted.  Tim sent me a photo of Pocket Rocket's new foredeck looking very shiny.

Is the photo of lucy lifting 2699 the start of a new caption competition?

Before the topcoat went on the weight was 32 kgs, but since then lots of filler came off, then a coat of undercoat went on, most of which came off, then a tiny touch up, then more sanding, then the topcoat went on. There is still progrip and fittings to go.

That was how we spent the long bank holiday weekend. Many thanks to Paul Croote for lending his workshop, for painting and for photographing, and to Paul's colleague Brian who helped with spraying some undercoat on, and to Tim Unerman for being around for lifting duties.

We took Sunday off (mostly) for sailing Cheese at Chew.

Now (as you can tell) I am working v hard preparing for a meeting at 4pm.
