There is and will be a lot more interest in this hot new racing gaff rigged boat, said to be a very good choice for races like the Governors Cup race to St Helena island, maybe the one thats about to be built in Hout Bay, South Africa will proove this to be correct.
Our kit is based on the Didi 26 as the new Retro 29 was based on that hull form, we added some extra materials to cover the new boats extra length.

This list is optional, you can supply your own timber,glass tapes and epoxies if required, a base kit can just be the marine plywoods if you require.We can ship world wide, often for less than you can buy in your own country.
