WHERE HAS 2007 GONE?

Hello,Roy here again,we started this in May,now its November,where has our year gone to again! No complaints its nice to be busy all year.

We are now better stocked with plywoods than ever before and have just stacked the shippment of Superform bending plywoods that arrived last week.We also have a new line of plys from http://www.toubois.com/ a top french plywood maker.

We are very busy on our kit boats side too,a 'Proteus 106' catermaran is being cut right now and the owner has been taking production away in parcels as we cut them,he will assemble panels at his home then move them to his building factory in Philipi.The designer,Angelo Lavranos, will be here in a week or so to check progress.

The Didi 38 design kit by Dudley Dix,that we are working on, is very close to becoming a final order,this is a special,we have done them before,one shipment to a far flung place,open the container and you find a wholeboat inside,just in parts!

Our 6.6mtr power boat design by Angelo Lavranos,has also started to become an order,it will either happen late this year or early into the next one.

Designers,we would like to welcome Mr Michael Storer aboard as the new addition to our design team, Micheal is from Austraila and has a whole new concept on river boat designs,they move in very thin water! We have asked Mike to look at designing a Canal boat for Britains 7000 miles of canal waterways.

Didi Mini Transat kits,we have one ready for delivery ex stock,Dudley tells me he has sold about 80 sets of plans,we have sold many of these kits, built two in our factory,with two more being built in Cape Town,one of which has just sailed to England,UK.

Busy? yes I told you we have been busy!

Best Regards for the festive season and all the best for 2008!

RegardsRoy
