    On the website there are pics of a partially constructed acorn in australia. Im wondering if there are any links to finished pics, sailing reports, etc.

    Peter did you get any answers to this, here or elsewhere? Ie do you have any sense of how smoothly other Acorn builds have gone, what kind of costs they encountered, et?

    Plenty of info out there on the Janus which is very similar and quite a few built I think.

    He has been somewhat unresponsive to e-mails this past month, I assume he is on passage or something. The plans are incomplete as of yet, but adequate to build the bare hulls if you are an experienced builder.
