One of our well known yacht designers ,Angelo Lavranos,arrived in Cape Town this past weekend,he has been based in Auckland,New Zealand for some years but his background is very much a Cape Town story.Angelo has many boats on the build here in South Africa still and he makes sure he maintains regular contact with the various boat yards building his designs.
In this case he will also be meeting up with Rob, our boat kit customer,who has just taken delivery of his 'Proteus 106' catermaran boat kit,thats 35ft long to those who do not work with metric! Angelo and Rob will be meeting at our factory later this week,to discuss the design and its building,this has not started yet in its designated build factory but Rob has taken delivery of the CNC parts and has already begun to glue sections together,ready to deliver to his factory and start the build proper.
We are lucky to have this build here in Cape Town,the last kit went to Caracas,Venezuela,so not so easy to follow the builders program,here we can be at the boat yard in a half hour or so,you can expect regular updates and pictures on our web site when the build gets underway.

Please keep up the information/photos on the Proteus 106 build. This is a design I am very interested in and any additional information would be much appreciated.

May we have some photos and a progress report on the Proteus 10.6?

Just checking in to ask how the local Proteus 106 build is going and whether we can have an update. It would be nice to have an interview with the builder too.
