Nice! B)

Something not right about those pictures!

When was the last time you saw a shed a boat was getting built in that looks that uncluttered and clean?

I say "Photoshop"!

[not growing up]

Interesting!! Kinda looks like a giant Melges 20 ( not built yet! ) made from carbon. NOT!!

[fullsail]

Maybe renderings drawings specs of the boat?

hows the canting wet box work with that centrecase in the way droughtau

not the canting Sp.8 setup

[droughtau]

TS not in a boatbuilders shed and not everyone works in an untidy shop and GS there is no centrecase just the moulded base bulb in the bottom of the hull.You two are the most sceptical negative piles of misery on this site. Just to show no photoshop and clean shed again here is the deck popped

Not supposed to be a negative comment there fella, i have allways had a clean work bays when i was on the tools but having helped out a number of boatbuilders over the years have never seen a shed that clean with a boat built in it! Keep up the good work, i could never work out how boats could come out of such a messy enviroment looking so good!

Has this epoxy gelcoat been around a while? Was wondering if the gelcoat on my boat would be epoxy.

So where is the boat supposed to be sailing from when finished?

[fullsail]

Will have removable wings isn't it?

Christian

[droughtau]

Is P Gals boat so will be based in Coffs Harbour. The wings will fold same as Sports 8

[Turkey Slapper]

Cool, he wasnt 100% happy with the original up at Airlie but seemed to like the concept so will be good to see the boat with his changes made. Might just upset the regulars!

Let me guess. Epoxy layup, then a layer of vinylester, then gelcoat????

Hmmm, am I right hmmm (my Stuie from Family Guy impersonation)

Thats the way I would do it.

[fullsail]

sport 8, stealth 8, I mix them. Which one is which? Oh yes Vivace is the sport 8 isn't? And vivace is the Bethwaite design. So the plans are available. Good!
