Interesting how these guys who build the Samba have taken from me (without permission) the image renderings of my design Balance A-Cat. PLEASE do not use my images with commercial purposes for your boat. Sito Aviles.
www.balance-an.com Agreed, it was improper and in a business sense unethical to use the Balance images in the Samba promotional flyer. They should change that immediately.
Nice looking boat though. There's nothing wrong with looking at what is out there and either coming up with a copy of the best or your own interpretation. My impression of the boat is it looks a lot like the DK17 "big boy" A-Cat developed here in the US. It looks to have more hull volume than the A2/A3 and/or the Flyers.
With a mast and rig and not including shipment, the price should come out around $19K for a sailaway.
