Its not that simple With all respect, if you are asking that question, then you probably don't have the knowledge to successfully build a new set...
Why a Lightning? Is your heart set on a Lightning? Big, heavy, expensive, sailed with 3. The Fireball has active home builders and would be...
We're open minded about that, but have not as yet had to look into what's involved in work visa's etc. Send me a CV. Cheers Phil
