Yeah, forgot him. This was the first one we built for someone else. Owner is the harbourmaster at Rockport (I think). The boat is a bit different as it had to double as a ferry and a tow boat, so it has a walk through cockpit (from side to side) and a 50 hp outboard. According to the gossip it sails pretty well, but I don't have any first hand reports. We stuffed up the quote for costs and time so it left here late and unfinished (and we were broke and exhausted) and the owner has not spoken to us since so I can't give you any more information, although I would suggest that you don't say "Rob suggested I contact you"!
Hi BJ,
You should try and locate the one that disappeared in Maine somewhere and keeps to himself.

Received: Sunday, 28 August, 2011, 2:05 AMthere's not too many out there. thought it would be useful to compile a list of where they all are. here's what i've got just from this forum:
rare bird, 50', australia
ono, 50', finland
blind date, 40', netherlands
harrigami, 40', queensland, australia
aroha, 40', new zealand
side car, 25', where now?
rob's el, 25', NSW australia
could folks please chime in with ones i've missed. any in north america?
my motivation is that someday i'd like to build/own one, but before that i'd like to go on a test sail of someone else's. if i happen to be travelling near one, would be fun to stop by and take a peek.
