12/6/21 - I went around to Kens tonight. The shell is looking fantastic, light and the hull is very stiff.
Deck to go on soon. Tonight we mapped out the winch, servo positions
I have giving Ken a lot more internal work to do before the decks are fitted. Sorry
So excited to see how she will eventually sail, I have a good feeling : ) : ) : )

You would think after 20 years IOM designers would be narrowing in on one shape, but no they are not yet.
The new generation of bigger NZ boats appears to be a step faster than the previous generation, so time to try a very different shape to catch back up.
Gave my mate Jeff B in Aussie a call. All my three race boats in my shed are fast and where designed by Jeff, He has not put me wrong yet :)

So I transferred the funds, and in the mail we got a thick how to manual and frame profiles. So here we go again with a very different concept.
When I say we, I mean Ken. Ken picked up some local white cedar and milled it all down to 2mm.
Below Frame Zero being mounted in Kens Man Cave Friday :)
more to come soon, stay tuned ...
