G'day,

It is currently being remodelled by an Italian stylist. Not sure
whether he will be able to change much and keep the cost low, but we
will see.

No idea if the skipper is in the loop or not, but the boat is pretty
common knowledge, so probably no harm. Be interesting to hear his
views.

Plan is to build another boat first to sort any production bugs. At
present this will be either a 15m/50' version with a different (1
double, 2 single cabins one toilet/shower instead of 4 doubles and 4
toilet/showers) layout or a flat panel harry. Both are at the
waiting for contract stage, but the builder is still sorting out
permit problems. Unlikely that the charter boat will be ready for
spring next year, but when it is, I am sure we can arrange something
for the delivery/early charters

Of course, if the China set up is cheaper and the quality is as high
as I have been lead to believe, then all these boats will probably be
built in China.

regards,

Rob
