    G'day Everyone,
    Just thought I'd post one of our new designs up on the forum.
    The Sportz 16 brief was for a fast and thrilling strip plank racing yacht with excellent performance high on the priority list and a competitive racer without breaking the budget. The result is an attractive, easily to handle, 'club racer' or exciting weekend day sailor.

    At present we have a few of these being built, so I'll post a few pictures of clients building the design.

    Looking forward to any comments or questions and even open discussions and opinions.
    Looking forward to hearing your say :)

    Regards
    Mark Bowdidge (ARINA)

    Morgan Evans building his Sportz 16

    G'day Everyone,
    Morgan has sent a few pictures of his Sportz 16 being built. Spoke to him this morning and he's hoping to have the boat planked fully today.

    If you visit our website, you'll find more information and build pictures.
    Looking forward to hearing your replies and or any discussions relating to the Sportz 16

    Regards
