Ideas start as dreams,or is it the other way around,either way Malcolm worked at this idea untill it became a reality,well done,its a great looking boat!

Note,the boat was to become a Mk2 as the aft escape hatch was raised to keep it free of the water,not that the Lewmar Ocean hatch leaks,it was just a move in the right direction.We further developed the kit after Dudley later offerd the hull and deck panels file,we made the jig templates to the boats interior,thats the bunks,mast step box and the water ballast tanks,which now form part of our standard kit offering,we are the only company world wide who can offer this.


It rained!

Malcolm,sees all his planning and hard work being launched at the RCYC,Cape Town.



This was our first CNC cutting order,we did just the bulkheads back then,Dudley Dix had been asked by Malcolm,the boats owner do do him a Mini Transat design,this was Dudleys offering.The design is a success,its sold well and we have shipped kits to many countries world wide.
