Yeah that's right... it's a brand new boat. Just sailed it for the first time in this particular version. For-ish I think.

Whoooosh, swish, swooosh |
So what is it? It's not Fizz-based. It's not really a BWind engine... As far as I can see it's not a Tako either... Then what?

In the green |
There's bits and pieces from other boats... the keel looks kinda BWind-ish. Also the boom uses the same colour coding originally introduced by the BWind boats. Or was as Balduin Aabye actually the first to use that?

Looking good |
If it reminds me of anything from RL it's a classic 80ies design such as the L23 or thereabouts. Perhaps there's a bit of Drabant 24 in there, or maybe it's a cross of the two.

Check that compass |
Yeah! I am a sucker for really nice details. Check out that compass. It's so close to the real thing it's almost too much. I am sure I have seen one just like it very recently.

Yay |
Nice foam and waves too; Still things are missing such as windvane and sheets and more details on the rigging, - not to mention the interior where apparently less is more, - and ehm... nothing is everything. Still, interesting work from a (to me) completely new boatbuilder. Looks very promising.
Wow thanks Noodle. Yes it is work in progress.
