If its the same Kiribilli (and I don't see why it wouldn't be) the bowsprit was on it in Sydney, its not strictly a Farr 40 as its one of the 3 prototypes (hence its a kevlar hull and the carbon rig), its a great inshore boat, lots of fun.

Yes, it’s the same Farr 40 ILC. I guess I was confused about the BS being added.

Nice looking thing this, and it's a cruiser too judging by one of the pics...

Jason,

Maybe we need to send you to the Whorro school of boat ownership and enrol you in  his award winning courses. 

- How to own, run and race a big boat on a shoe string.

and the follow up courses. 

- How to use others money to fund your yachting program. 

- How to be the head line owner when your spending very little 

and the Ichi Ban special 

-How to piss off the egos of the big boys because your not spending what they are and you are still giving them a hurry up.

Just trying to help mate and get you into your dream boat.

Maybe we need to enrol Hoppy in these courses  as well ? after all it has a electric head.

Yes it does mate and after attending Whorro's  course there is always money on it for yachting. 

I'll spot you this one to get you started and then after the course you will end up having your own magic credit card to play with. 

Just remember to pass it forward and maybe help Hoppy out as well.

Julian Bethwaite is using some interesting cores for his 98’er sports boat build. And it is recycled PET. He is using two different densities laminated together, maybe they do even denser stuff? Had a quick look through his thread in the Sports Boat section, but couldn’t find a brand name, but easy for me to miss even if I was staring straight at it.

PM him?

Or you could use paulownia, I built a whole 31 ft boat out of 190x12mm planks. Doesn’t rot and is structural in itself:

The stuff is called Kerdyn Green, yes its PET, nominally recylced water and coke bottles, comes from Gurit, all foams are made in China, dose not really matter which.    There is some German stuff, Armacore, I think, but I have had good results with the Kerdyn Green and Basalt!

I imported this stuff, via Gurit.   Try Sam @ [email protected], think he is in Brisbane.

And yes it comes in all sort of weights, its about 20% tougher at the higher densities than PVC (weight ofr weight)
