Collection has all gone well and three boats back at base camp.

Really please with the finish and build quality (first time I have seen a finished boat) - and a couple of visitors have been really impressed too - so good so all good so far.

Rigging will be underway very soon - and will start to post some pictures once things take shape.

So far I have trimmed the interior mouldings / dashboard etc. All jobs that in future will be done by the builders - but needed sorting out by me on the first boat.

The boat is now at Race Marine having engine fitted and majority of rigging - so hopefully all going well.

Otherwise seats have been up-holstered here and are back with me. Looking really good - although another job that in the future should be carried out in China.

So - hopefully will be going to collect a boat soon. Then fit seats and a few other items and onto launching! Will start posting some photos when I get the boat back.

Getting very close and hopefully getting her back tomorrow. Been a bit of a delay as the IMCO wingplate did not work for an E-Tec!

Really pleased to say that we have had a launching. Boat got wet this Saturday.

In true boating fashion it was all tight on time and I had to do an all-nighter (it was f cold in the workshop Friday night / Sat morning!) - but just got enough done to give her a run. Still a lot of finishing off to do and for the test the rear seat was not in, lifter gauge not connected etc etc.

Got our for about an hour before the tide dropped off. Anyway for a first test it went really well and gradually built up speed to around 77mph with two up and a lot of fuel. Certainly more to come and yet to play with engine heights etc.

Did not get any photos on the water as I was rushing around a bit - just this one before leaving the yard. Hopefully some of the others around that day might have some - but will be out again as soon as possible - or at least as soon as I have finished work for another builder!

The boat looked amazing Adam and from what I saw down the river went soooo well!

If you ever need a navigator

Thanks for the chat and hope the boat does well. Look forward to seeing it down Lymington again.

Well spotted - but I did keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times!

Thanks for comments. One more shot from a different angle.

Very frustrating as want to get back out on the water - but have to finish a patrol boat design first.
