Hi @all Jester Challengers,
While I fully agree with the Jester Challenge principles, I wonder, which kind of boats are fitting best.
When looking at the results of JAC08, I think the "winner", Dominique Katan with his "Nea-Kameni" deserved his position highly.
His boat was as small, as Jester was: 25feet.
In addition I found his boat to be hard-chine constructed of plywood, which seem to match the "low-budget" attribute.
That he reached the finish first, though his boat was 5 feet shorter, than the biggest competitors, while also having a simple-construction hull, seems extraordinary.
Does someone here knows about his secret, how to achieve this success?
Also I didn't found any details of his boat "Mistral 7.5".
Maybe someone here has some hints to find out more about it's construction?
It may be a good shape and plan for selfbuilding of a seacruiser.
