Owners news December 2024
At last some more news from builders and owners of my designs - large and small, and very different!
First the Strike 18 trimaran, one owner recently reported:
"Here is a picture of my Strike 18. It's been in the water a couple years and I really enjoy it. My friend, who has raced sailboats, commented on how easy it is to sail and how comfortable it is, even in boat wakes that we get a lot of here in Michigan. I just finished a roller furler before I put it away for the winter and I also built a frame to raise the mast that lays right on the deck. Works great. Thanks."
Then, many of you will, like me, have been impressed with the interior woodwork on Dinis' Skoota 36 powercat that I featured some months ago
I am very pleased to say that it has now been launched and is cruising in the Strait of Georgia off Vancouver, British Columbia. No new photos but his video channel is here
And finally a couple of Flica 37 owners:
"This is our Flica 37. Only one in Norway.
We sailed her all the way from North of Norway to the very South and up towards home port of Horten Norway. Such a fun boat. We are super happy. "
And: "Hi Richard, my wife and I had a Flica from 2002 until 2016 and sailed Florida, the Gulf, the Keys and up to Charleston SC and we had so much fun. So a huge thank you because your boat design was absolutely brilliant. Many thanks"
