JeffS, you are talking about a kit you are about to pick up. I admit I have not read every F12 thread, so I guess I have missed something, but who is supplying the kits, what is included, and based on what design? Is it the Vudu? Also, is the kit available for purchase, and if so, who do I contact?


RG is trying to gather enough people to produce a batch of rotomolded Vudus. You might want to contact him too.
I like the self standing rig with sleeved sail either, but will take the production boat anyway it comes because I believe in serial production to boost numbers.

All the best,

How much for the rotomolded platform ?

And is RG still using the curved beams for the Vudu ?

Will it carry a 85 kg male ?

If so then I maybe interested just the platform. I'm not looking forward in building that myself with the resources that I have. I have no issues with the foils or rig.

Wouter,

The complete boat will cost USD 4.000,00 if 20 are ordered. Thatīs all I know.

Hi Luiz,

I've shot a PM off to RG about the Rotomolded F12, as this is probably the easiest option for me, but haven't heard anything back. But I've also sourced most things I need for a DS12, except for sails and general fittings, but most of this can be obtained from Singapore easily. I guess I do what I think is quickest for me in the long run.

Cheers

Hi Wouter,
will have a platform only price after the first ones are out of the moulds and the round bilge one will have straight beams.
It will however struggle a bit at 85kg as it was only designed around a max 50 kg kid.

cheers
RG

RG sent an email to your xtra.co.nz email address. I don't know if you check it often.
