Thom,

I think Christopher Sundberg has ordered a carbon Catri and probably asked for a few custom modifications, but I have no news from him since the first trials of the carbon Catri.

In the first trial the boat reached 25 knots sustained speed without wave assistance with 18-20 wind, with problems in the rudder's foil. After fixing it, they reached 27 sustained and expect more then 30 in appropriate conditions.

Anyway, what I know for sure is that he will be sailing the factory's first carbon boat while awaiting for delivery.

My boat is going slowly but steady. The engineering of the molds and lamination is not simple and the shipyard had to slow down to make it right the first time. The designer had to prepare extra drawings (more then 100 to date) because of lack of proficiency in the only common language - English.

I expect the lamination to finish in a couple of months and then will start rigging.

Cheers,
