Is that the carbon B18 that Ovi built for Lawrie Smith in '95/'96?  The only ones I know of which had a dished deck (i.e. not out of the B18 deck mould) where that one and Ericsson.  All the standard ones were glass not carbon.

If its going to be ready in a months time then there is no excuse for it not to be at the Bloody Mary for all to see? What do you reckon?

If anyone is interested we have just taken the B18 hull plug out of the roof
of the factory.
Carbon hull and wooden deck plug built in.
Would need some work to get up and running but it is brand new hull!
Free to good home, buyer collects.
In Newcastle.

P.S. We now have the 18' moulds back from China!!

I'd be more worried about making sure all the standing and running rigging works properly than the colour of the faded block ...

If anything breaks it's big money so make sure all is reliable.

Yey thats 3 B18's i know that have been resurrected in the last year. Perhaps we need to setup a cheap and cheerful B18 series of get togethers.

Good luck guys. Post pics of your progress. Heres ours:
