Huey 7 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Beautiful boat looks stiff!!! I have only just started to understand the breadth of your designs and can see the pathway to short handed racing that you have made.loved seeing the RNZ coverage just wish i was based in nz otherwise would look into PE. But still interested in your designs, what is your list of boats designed and how many built or still to be built? Brilliant !!!! cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Tiller 2 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 designed a few boats first big one was rules and reglations a 35 foot unstayed ketch built back in 70s had short footed keel extensively cruised her good when kids were young.Just had a ring from new owner who picked her up from akoroa and has her at waiheke still with origional masts, he loves her. built all my boys boats ,optis,starlings all highly modified but within the rules they banned the starling from racing so had to change it . quick boat. They said des wouldnt like the look of it. Enjoy trying to design fast easily sailed boats, single and 2 handed. New one on similar idea just diferent. Not into expensive irc .
