Farr 3.7

NZ is a small country with a population of 4 million as opposed to 60 odd million in the UK. Class numbers are always going to look small to us. Plus the NZ National authority has had a crazy policy in recent years of discouraging local classes and only supporting International ones where they possibly can...

Originally posted by Contender443 I know someone who would be interested in one of these. Are there enough people out there to really weant and to commit to having one built.   What would a builder give as a price if they had firm deposits from say 6 buyers. The deposit would need to be set at a level where the buyer will not back out easily - say 50% of build costs.

PM me... I'm sure we could sort a builder out that would be interested in building a limited run at a competitive rate.

What a great looking boat, I'll be asking for a test sail..!  But JS, there will be no fancy covers for you to make by the looks of the photo :-). 

I suppose if we're on a run of small fast trapeze boats and you're thinking of adding an assy, probs should mention the light skiff (baby musto skiff). Ive spoken to the designer and although he was rejected by ovington as a builder he has secured a builder over in germany. She maybe isnt as sleek as the 3.7, but she looks fast and well designed if the musto is anything to go by.

That baby MPS was the other boat that has caught my eye recently, although my ambition remains to have a go at the real thing when I have the time and money.  Considering I struggled to make my radial to upwind in any sort of breeze I think the light skiff may suit me better.
