That looks pretty smart. Well done. HD POV sailing footage now required!

Hard to get a sense of scale, but from the banjo carrier wagon in the background, size-wise it looks more like a double-hander.  How much does it weigh (e.g. for lugging across the beach)?

That's a nice big chute opening - bet you learnt that lesson from the Alto!  The water might enjoy going down there too, mind...

Good colours (but don't try to kneel inboard on a hot, still day).

Excellent sir. 
Now we need to see some video of it
on the sea at Hythe, on its toes and 
smokin' the fleet.

Nearly ready to rock, looking a bit more businesslike with a decent chute and rack covers..

There is no rescue cover nor bodies to assist launch and recovery and I don't trust either it, or myself, hence going down the lake, plus the little wind we get on the lake is more useful than what would happen on the sea, with tide.

1st weekend we start sea sail ins is Sunday week next, April 1st, what better day to launch..

take it Whitstable- I'm sure the MPS fleet will give you a few tips and provide the requisite amount of rescue cover for a beer or two.  

That was the idea wasn't it... to keep up with the MPS boys???
