She looks AWB ish with a high centre cockpit

Thought she looked fresh - and made short work if tacking up the river against the tide. Great to see a new British boat builder with eyes on volume production. Can't compete with the comoditized production of the BenJenBav's but will compete on quality at what they claim will be realistic prices. Either way it's manufacturing jobs in EA.

Doomed I am afraid.... too many builders offering center cockpit funky expensive boats semi-custom....

Not radical enough... just trying to compete with Oyster at a slightly lower price point...


Here it is!

So that limits his upper size then....

I see he has put in some huge costs up front.... he is gonna have to do some volume to get that covered...

Why oh why oh why cant we have someone doing something a bit different... that the average punter could afford as well???

I would like a 32 foot gaffer with a bit more volume and a swing keel with traditonal looks for say... 85k....

Thanks.

I was moored next to this yesterday.

Looked very nice indeed although not a patch on my Hustler
