Hi George,

It's not just us that's building! There's six or even possibly seven others in build too I think.

(Note: I say "We are building", which is a lie. We are not building. Andy P is building)

I don't know what Roland is doing this weekend.

From the point of view of taking our boat to BBSC, I think we'll just concentrate on getting the boat finished first!

Does this mean a few boats are coming up for sale? I have a friend who is thinking of going Cherub. He sails SMODS but has all these crazy ideas of what he could do to them.

Loco and Atum have both got new homes already.

The Trifle and Lost In Space are both on the secondhand boat list, both good entry level boats.

Hull completed. Deck completed. Many decisions made about many things including gantry, wingbars, wing support tubes, understays, shroud fittings, shroudbase, jib fitting, launch tube, jib track (which will be a 49er one again), kite hoop, bulkheads, board position (leading edge = 1.98m from stem), bungholes, etc etc .

I am officially excited!

I think thats the plan.  Are we going to have the Hartley Daemon on the stand as well? It would look good with that wonderful price tag. We should park it next to the RS800 stand.  ;D

Will, do you know what she weighed in at?

Will, how far back is the mast on the new boat? I took loads of measurements of the top boats at the Inters, and one of the measurements I took was the mast and board position. Will be interesting to know for comparitive purposes.

Sorry Ross, no idea the weight of Badgers Nadgers, though Subtle Knife was light I think.

Stu, the front of our mast is 1.98m back from the end of the snout, and the front of the board is 2.26m from the end of the snout.

That is about 20cm further forward than the skiffs. No suprises there....

Is it the same position as on Atum Bom? Or did you learn a lesson from Atum and reposition?
