smithy. another thing you could look at is on youtube there are about 20 time lapsed videos of the build of 'speedboat' 100 ft maxi. search for the cookson boats chanel.

Didn't Bob in Oz do a detailed photo essay in his Online Magazine of constructing his foam core Cat??? I didn't keep the article, but I am pretty sure they are all available on line as back issues.

Too early in the morning, what is his mag called again???

Thanks col j but I can't get videos out here. Fitrewall kills them. Otherwise the ship ends up with zero band width, When I get home I'll have a look..
