G'day
I am in Brisbane Australia, I have seen the website, and been excited by the
prospect of a strip built high perfomance skiff.
I have previously built a strip built 7.8m (26ft) trailable yacht which I
still own and am in the process of updating and lightening even further with
repositioning of ballast on the keel.
Unfortunately yesterday I discovered I had a leaking mitral valve and need
heart surgery in the next 3-4 weeks, so I won't be starting the swift solo
any time soon - maybe 4-5 months.
Regards, Ron Deane
