    I am a wee bit nervous about those chairs breaking as they look a bit fragile. And they look rather uncomfortable, but looks can be deceiving. I look forward to your launch. The boat looks great. That deck is very special.

    Launched and performing well. 20mph achieved in a light chop - might be a bit quicker on smoother water. Seats did not break but the nylon ties snap if singles are used, so these are now doubled up and form good anchor points for the "tennis racquet" frame. Image (3).jpg Image (4).jpg
