I want to build the 12m Harry. I had hoped to fly to Coff's and check
it out and maybe be started by now. The hold up is $$$$$. I need to
find a tenant for a commercial building I own , then I can get
started. Thought it was all done about a month ago but she's dicking
around. We have another potential checking it out Monday and I'm
hoping either he'll take it or the extra pressure will bring the first
player to the table.
I'm not a technical boffin as some on this and other proa sites are. i
just want to go sailing, on a budget, my family has certain
accomodation minimums I have to meet and I need to go fast. Nothing
else i've looked at seems to offer as good a mix of the three. Plus my
naturally perverse nature enjoys the idea of having something weird
and different.
You really seem to have got stuck in and are making serious progress,
haven't been able to find pics tho, any chance of putting them here?

hopefully gets easier now on. WW hull is interesting looking.
