Sport 700 skiff style keel boat

  hi all,

thought i would put up some info of this simon rogers sport 700 skiff style keel boat
great little 7 m speedster. Any more info can be found on this link http://www.compositemouldings.com/Sport700...17/Default.aspx

one has already been built and is in the water, another is in the mould ready to be finnished by composite mouldings Ltd (CML).
The black boat is the prototype (which reached speeds of up to 18 knots on test sails). It was resparayed black and sold to a local company who to my disappointment (and serious lack of promotional opportunity) have not sailed it once. The last pic is of the second one which we are slowly getting together.

hopefully once the second boat is finnished, then it will be possible to use the first sport 700 in some match racing.

oppinions and feedback on this boat would be great!!

 the boat will be show cased at the southampton boat show at stand J 065 !!! come along and have a look.

thanks

Jami
