No experience of that particular design but Angelo Levranos is a well respected designer in Southern Africa.
At least one forum member has an L(avranos) 33 ( or does he have two /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif ) that has/have been plying the seas for 25 years or so.

PM "stingo"His ear(and knuckles)are close to the ground /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
He is SA based so should know a bit about these boats
The designer seems to be NZ based?
cheers Joe

Lavranos was an ex Bruce Farr designer, and is based in NZ but has builds done in South Africa. I seriously looked at buying one of his Compass 47 design boats before Full Circle, and it was impressively designed and constructed.
On that one experience, I would say its worth investigating.

I am currently building a Lavranos 50 ft which is a very simular design in steel and have been in contact with Anglo several times.
Have a look at the details at

Hope to complete later this year.
This pic was when we moved the hull and deck from Cape Town to Johannesburg in January 2005.

( And for those unfamiliar with SA, Cape Town = major port and city at the tip of Africa and Johannesburg = major city 5000' amsl, 1400 km from Cape Town and about 600km from the nearest salty water.)
