It is NZL 60
But it will be not the only one. Friends of mine are building Alinghi, Oracle , Areva and Luna Rossa , maybe even some more. Should be at least 6-8 Boats.
The whole thing is a project we started by internet 8 month ago, Everybody is building what he can do best for the others
One makes the hull, one the fittings, another one the keel and so on. I will for example cut the sails
Damn fine job, and a bloody good idea. It’s a shame more people on here aren’t prepared to get together and do the samething.

Eric, the boat is terrific; where are you located? Are you using a spinnaker?
You’ve done a great job!

Doug: Couldn’t you just have said “Nice Job!!!” like everybody else? No you had to inject “spinnakers”, another “idea” only you are trying to promote/sell. If you look at the picture you see the boat doesn’t have a chute. Please stop this baiting and trying to hijack threads!
And Eric–Really Nicely Done!!!
CONGRATULATION[:-captain]
Thats A wonderful boat you got!!
Fantastic job!

PS: Roy you are so right![:-banghead]

Hi Folks,
I have made the molds for the hulls an actually I’m building the mold for the Decks.
Eric got the prototype made from glassfiber, the other hulls will be made from carbon fiber. “Mass production” of hulls and decks will start in june.
Here are some pictures of building the molds, have fun!
The weight of the hull ist 444 gr. The carbon fiber hulls will be a little bit lighter (about 400 gr.), but they will have more stiffness.
Overall length is 1,35m (about 52 inches), displacement is 5 kg.
@cougar: do you have pics of your boat?[:-bouncy]
Cheers, Yeti
eric dam fine job but you have way too mush spare time on your hand mate how does it sail?? how did you make the coffie grinders espicaly the handles?
When the Apprentice knows more than the Mentor its time to quit!

Hi Doug
Why should I use a spinnaker?
Iacc boots don?t use it for years anymore
Seems to me that you are not very well informed.
Eric
