SEND ME THOSE PICTURES !

There are many new boats being constructed at the present time. As pictures become available, I will be posting them here so all can see the newest members to the class. With the availability of hulls, spars, and fittings the class is growing constantly with new hulls going out monthly. Quite a few in the West too!

If you are in the process of building a new boat, please send me your information and picture so we can add it to the list.
