Francis Whitley,owner of Shakeaspear,said he only sold one cat,there is a big right up on it in sportsboat magazine,will post when i get a sec to spare,the 40fter is another revenger mould that never went into production and has no top deck mould,nothing has ever been pulled out of it,its a deep v mono,the 8.3 he wants 6kish for the mould,having said that,there three for sale on brokerage down south and struggling to sell,i will stick to littluns for now till market starts moving.Anyone wants to do it as there own 1 off boat would be the way to go and try and flog the mould again after.

When I bought that cat from Francis there was definately another one, a lighter build, sat in the yard.

Hi Alan,all the smaller mouldings are in my garage,27ft x 27ft with my p25 and all my sheet metal gear,not a lot off room left,managed to do a full set of all the smaller stuff just to see how easy they come out,absolutely spot on,got to take my hat off to Francis Whitley and Steve (Dick Dasterdly)on here,the designers/makers of the moulds,the attention to detail and manufacture of them is spot on.If the deck and hull moulds come out as good as will be one happy bunny.Cant do them yet,got an issue with bldg,.control over my new portal frame construction,we will sort it tho,should have the decks and hull mouldings out by the end of June,in no great hurry,got the world cup to enjoy first Incidently,the cat mould is still in their shed,the only mould left if your interested,it only ever made one.Will post some pics soon as got something to show.:
