Hi Danny,
Just caught up with your project - extraordinary and beautiful looking craft. My how design has changed in 35 years. Today following the TG guys down the coast. Good luck with the project. Looks like a very skilled team you have but get in touch if there's anything I might help with - whats your projected ETD? Go for it!!! Colin Q

Thanks Colin

Appreciate the feedback, and yes shes a very different vessel. The team involved are all great with huge off shore experience - no rowing experience though.....

Be fantastic to catch up. I'm trying to get up to meet the TG guys coming in. If your in Tauranga - Id love to show you the boat and let you pick holes in my thoughts and plans.

I'm hoping to have the boat in the water by the end of March to spend the rest of the year testing. Looking at leaving Hokianga most likely Feb/March 2013 but want to be ready to go in January incase the right weather window pops up.

John on Black Betty?

I'm struggling to see how this design would not be stable if inverted. Has the self righting been actually tested .

Jonathan on The Pink Panther?

Hi Can't see a private email contact. Good Luck for the fitout. Let me know if you need a hand with safety and watermaker specification. I have a couple of light weight options which may be good
