DIY dinghy – Streaker?

   I believe its purple. but that could be overcome pretty quickly! Well its reassuring that he's so well known. Carbon mast and boom to look out for now then.

	A phant rig would work pretty well on it I reckon. You could maybe get a nice square top main custom Made. Current main is yellow if memory serves!

	Currently has a carbon/cedar daggerboard made by Biffa boats, an aluminium rudderstock/tiller. Proctor C mast (from a Hornet but without the spreaders) and a Superspar boom (from a Blaze). He's using the sail on another boat but being a sailmaker that shouldn't be to much of a challenge Edited by gbrspratt - 26 Mar 14 at 8:21pm

	Have the original unstayed punk boat mast (and sail) on the go, and dagger and fixed rudder if any of that is of use.

	I think I need to sort out whether to build or buy and then make the move! But I may be in touch.

	I remember that Stealth turning up at our club once, in fact the photo of the yellow sailed one half way down on the page was taken at our club. It wasn't that windy but it struggled to keep up after the 1st beat iirc. I certainly beat him in my 300 by some distance. It was different though and looked pretty good. Shame nothing really came of it. Edited by maxibuddah - 26 Mar 14 at 8:41pm
	Everything I say is my opinion, honest

	Tbh I don't think he was ever really bothered about making a class, he just held plans for it like his bigger racing and cruising cats. He just preferred his dinghy sailing in s/h monos, was pretty handy but didn't feel catered for.

	The first step is taken: just ordered the plans from the NZ Farr 3.7 owner's association.

	Excellent ! You won't regret it. The build gave me enormous pleasure There are 5 or so others in build right now. Let us know via the association site when you get started, we'll be happy to help share our experiences. I had an incredible sail yesterday, we had buckets of wind, and apart from a few groans (can't decide if that was me or the boat) it held together ok. Best of luck Dave
