Hi Gaz - plan is for boats to leave on 22nd Jan - approx 3 to 4 weeks to arrive.
Then to get everything rigged as quickly as possible and on the water. As soon as all dialed in and I'm fully happy I will arrange a general testing / demo day or two. Will let everyone know.
Trying to make sure everyting is ready for the rigging and only small items left to go / purchase at the moment!
Deck does have some similarities - although just checked original proposal drawings and they date back to 17/4/07.
