Well done. She was a bit of a mess before you started. Looks like you've got another one there to do as well.

Hi Mark have only had about 1/2 hr run in the bribie passage it appears to be quite good very stable & only pots up a small bow wave wile under way
Had a few small problems most from sitting around for a number of years Stiff steering, 1 carby flooding, now have been fixed
Back to the passage tomorrow to check if all is OK
Jara Jack The one in the back ground is my mates just needs in side tyding up paint etc when it fins up enough to paint

Hey Col,
Looks like a nice rig. I am surprised that there aren't more boat builders biulding them. (tri hulls). To my thinking they would combine the best of both worlds (mono & multi hull).

Anyone know why they aren't more popular?
