This page is dedicated to on going and future projects. Periodically, we will update this page to reflect our progress. The aim will always be to finalise a design and make these yachts available in the near future.
21 December 2024
This year has been productive in terms of developing a new RG65 (Smarty) and a new IOM (Gillette). Both have sailed at various local events over the course of 2024. This provided some great feedback and now Smarty (RG65) becomes available.
It has been a busy end to 2024 because not only have we continued with our wooden (IOM) Gillette project, but also we have created another IOM, Akula is the moulded Glass / Epoxy version of its wooden counterpart. Whilst competing in the Fleetwood (IOM) Ranking race earlier this year I was inspired by Brad Gibson's rigging ideas on his Post-Punk yacht. Whilst speaking to Brad, he showed me how his rigs were put together and the idea behind the format. I was so impressed with the simplicity of his rigs that a few days later, I contacted Brad to ask permission if I could use his rig ideas on my IOM. Once settled I decided to alter my existing IOM designs to suit the new style of the rig.
