So whilst all the attention is focused on Dubai, some “mice” are busy going full steam ahead preparing for Belmont in 2011.
Whilst I am embargoed on a number of details I can confirm the following:
- One of these boats is destined for St. George
- The outer skin is a 300gm UNI pre-preg layup, done with 2 layers of 150 UNI’s on the 45º bias
- One of the shells trimmed (after these photos were taken) weighs 3.88kg
I have to say, the finish and build quality on these hulls is excellent. The out of the mould finish is 99% ready to go straight to the paint shop.
One other thing I noticed, apparently aussie boats get built when worlds are on overseas, it was this exact time back in 2007 when I was putting Teknologika together …

No home build. Boats built by Marty. One for himself one for luka. I can only imagine that the release of photos whilst keeping details “embargoed” is a ploy for attention.

you should be proud to be called a home builder its the harder road to take
