Steinar has posted some new progress photos of his boat on http://harryproa.com/?p=726  Unfortunately too late to take advantage of the build method being used on the Cruiser 60, but lookng very good.

There has been a fair bit of interest in the Race to Alaska.  Looks like the next Cruiser will be built in Vancouver for a keen racer who suggested competing in the event before the boat is completely fitted out.  His worry is that, in this notoriously light air area, would the boat be too big to people power.  Given that Rick has designed a pedal system for a heavy Chris White cat which pushed it at 2 knots, I don't think it will be a problem.  Question is, how many people would it be worth carrying, solely as propulsion providers?  And what would be the best way to utilise them?
