Hello Doug, Yes Ratapiko is the name of our local small Hydo dam, used by speedboats mostly. We live 60ks from the coast and the coast is really dangerous, no safe anchorages for 200 miles north and 80 miles south, so thus I wanted a trailerable yacht to take to the wonderful boating areas that NZ does have. Hauraki Gulf and Marlborough Sounds mainly. It takes about 2 hours to launch and set up for sailing and twice that to do the reverse by the time the hull is scrubbed and motor flushed and everything shipshape so definately not a daysailer. My plan is to take it for summer holidays at least twice each summer for a week or three each time, then it will live in a shed the rest of the year.-----------------------------------------

Jackknife is a good name.From a video
a few months ago I thought the name was Ratapiko.Was
that the name of the lake?
The
bows in sailing video look almost exactly the same as mine
were on Sidecar.Spent a lot of time gazing at it. And
the wake and rudders too.
Is
the boat planned to be taken out very often or mostly left
in the water?What was the decision making to go with
the folding (so trailerable) style?
