There is one thing thats certain....

I am sure all 3 new boats will be in with a chance and each showing different strengths in their design .

Do I need to have disability parking bays marked out in the pits?

Will you need the local post office in Cowes to pick up your pension?

I have arranged 2 Bingo evenings at the British Legion for you and your co driver to enjoy.

Let me answer that John before Mike blows a gasket. That’s very thoughtful but the answers are; Don't bother, Don't bother and we would rather stay drinking in the Corinthian until early morning thank you, whoops, I didn't say that otherwise we will be suffering breath tests by JP again!

Here are the latest pics of the R34 as of yesterday. Isn’t she a stunner?

I can’t help but gawp at Mike's skill. No Computer Aided Design here, just plain old fashioned hand craftsmanship the like of which you won’t see again in a cruiser racer like this.

You can now see the typical Ring lines developing –this is going to be a lovely looking boat. I won’t be at all surprised if it goes as well as it looks. I have said it before and I will say it again, Mike Ring is a clever old git.

Can't wait for her to hit the water.

Looks like it is gonna be a stunner, classic trademark ring design

WOW, it looks fantastic definitely evolutionary but no doubt you will hope it goes like something revolutionary

at what stage do the tubes go on

Very nice!

I can assure you Mike, that computer aided design still requires "plain old fashioned hand craftsmanship the like of which you won’t see again in a cruiser racer like this." and we hope to demonstrate that the Honourable Mr Mike Ring isn't the only person in the world capable of the above!

O.K. so maybe that was a bit of a sweeping statement. I wasn’t suggesting that Kitten won’t be working hard on your boat Cookee or even inferring that your boat is anything but excellent but it’s my personal opinion, having watched this boat develop from zero, that Mike does everything by what would now be considered old fashioned methods but it works as you can see from the pics. Out of slabs of wood comes a beautiful shape.

It’s going to be an interesting Summer.

Oh no, do I see rear seat pods going in on the engine hatch............Please say no, as those things always looked to me as though they are an afterthought on any boat and also seems to complicate the sweeping lines.

Just me being fussy!

Boat looks nice so far though

The proportions look bang-on, can't wait to see a finished product!

The Old chaps need windows to allow the daylight through, so they can find the head every 10 minutes.

I though it was so that crates of lager can easily be hauled onboard

Looking pretty darn good . Think we might need to rethink RB11 so that we can have a go at this one...

I'm not a fan of the red onion... I take it there were problems with the proportions? If there was they're not an issue now in my eyes, it's going to be a pretty boat
