Sad that I missed the launch but I have followed all the stages of the build with great interest. Congratulations to you and Volunteer!

Sterling effort. I can see how this boat type did so well in the Sydney to Hobart races. Very rugged.

Sublime! Thanks for posting that Ian. Made for a fun ending to a heavy day preparing Sarah Ann. I’m looking forward to your thoughts on Dyneema.

Beautiful work.

Bloody well done. How you worked with so little elbow room in that garage is beyond me. The Ranger class Maluka was in Cowes, UK not long ago and blew minds - minds receptive to genius anyway - I had not appreciated until i saw this how cut away a Ranger's keel is, the front of it is aft of the mast position even. Nevertheless there seems to be enough forefoot she would still heave-to ok. But then again i am told Aussies prefer to sail on than wait it out🙂
