Last Lombard for Series Class


Cheers from Puerto Real, inside Cadiz Bay. One of the most wonderfuls spots for sailing.

Looks great! Similar lines as Lombards last Proto for Rioux, a question I would ask is if the shape of Proto transaltes well to the Series?

[Port Royal]

For that reason, the building weight is very controlated.

I think that Lombard plans are a warranty, lots of experience in Mini boats.


Cheers


PD: sorry for my english, my teacher were from Gibraltar... not so good teacher!!! hehe

Curious to see who is involved, Joel Miro as first client, thats the guy that bought the Zero project and that did not work that well.
So they can learn from him how not to do it.

Do not see an own workyard, can be good if the workforce there knows infusion technique..

And marketing is needed big time, as you can not survive off the Spanish market alone.
Website is not that good at the time

But maybe they will fire everything up soon, as Lombard and Co is a great designer office, IMHO.

Thanks for checking in Port R. Cadiz truly is one of the best places on Earth. And your english ain't as bad as most of the Gibraltarians (from someone who lived there for 8 months back in the day)

Andres Duran, the owner of the yard, is the best broker of Spain.

Lombard, is the best mini designer.

Joel Miro & Gerard Marin are so good mini650 sailors.

But is a small company, starting a new proyect... i think in a few time all the things will be right.

For me, the best marketing is the speed. At Le Grand 8 they are very, very fast. An excellent website for a slowly racer... not so interestive for me!!

Probably tomorrow i will go near Gibraltar, to Marbella. So good for powersailing & luxury cars, i will go to Guarnieri shop, McLaren, Pagani, and other brand who sell my friend Nando... Not all in the life are boats, there are cars&girls too hehehehe

Gerard is a good sailor, Joel not.

Who is the head guy of the build shop, not the broker I hope...

Andres Duran send me a pic:

Nice as a name with connextions buys one. Needs it, came just after the RG 650 in the
Le Grand Huit Solitaire

Would have been 3rd in serie, rg650 2d. Not bad for new boats.

RG apparently had no autopilot for 80% of the race....

Is that for sure? Does it sail? Will Marco compete in the next Minitransat?

Does that mean the keel structure of Argos is in question?

[LeoV]

Actually it is ..
This yard delivered the 3rd boat, and the client was not happy with the build quality, CM, the designer and owner are trying to sort it out.

in the meantime, a Tiptop lost his keel, a few Nacira were cheater boats ( to light in the keel. all nacira's will be tested)

Which Naciras were caught with keels out of Series compliance?

I have not seen the numbers or the names of the skippers.
