Nice dogs!I dont know why but over the past few years I have become obsessed with dogs, and the fact you all have a couple running around the shop is awesome!

looks like you guys got more then one boat going there at the same time.
Maybe one of em is a demo boat for all the smack talkers to ride on up this way finally.
How bout a ride and a t shirt? Also that building looks alot like Area-51,,,where's the little green men

The owner of this skiff came in yesterday to see his boat dry-fitted before it goes to the paint stage.

Hal is demonstrating the flexibility and durability of high quality epoxy. This is a cut off of a outer layer of one of the parts its a 500 gram and a 700 gram hybrid cloth.

Here you see the effects of the carbon-fiber reinforcements on the deck. As the deck is lifted you see very little deflection or sag. Carbon reinforcements are though out the boat.

Thats wild how it is put together and then painted. Still looking good.

George ,

Truly an awesome bit of kit this , thanks for taking the time to send me all the photo's man, once I researched the materials list for their individual component merits, then it all began to sink in, just about all the materials are made by DuPont , no wonder you have the guy's from DuPont down there hanging around on a daily basis.
Once you understand the individual components, then amalgamate them together then you have a skiff that is more than the sum of its parts.

I look forward to seeing you when I fly in from London next month, will bring my cheque book.

regards
