Hi Heinrich,
I have the other of the first two Harriettes from China. I’ve uploaded a few assorted shots from my first day sailing into the photo folder called China Harriette. There is a close up of part of the rudder arrangement and some from which you can get an idea of the hull beam connections and the mast step. I’ll be taking more pictures after I’ve made a few modifications I’m currently discussing with Rob, Nicolas and John, the builder.
Cheers,
Geoff Lowe

Hi Nicolas,
thank you for your pictures. The hulls look fine and with enough volume, you are definately not too heavy (ideal weigth for a laser) but you appeare to be undercanvassed!
Please give us some close up pics on the rudders, the mast step and the beam/hull connections.
Have fun - there is even more wind coming
Heinrich
