With the 10 boat (Blade 16) order for the 07 Alter Cup and having to still work his day job, I don't think there's enough time in the day for the 18.



You can now add about 8 new Blade F16 orders (to private owners) for 2006 to that as well.

The news is that the first Vectorworks Marine Blade F16 with Ullman sails has just been delivered to Singapore now.

The Blade F16 is going in full force production. By the end of 2006 I expect some 30 VWM Blade F16's to have been build or be waiting for a production slot to open up. By march 2005 we'll be around 15 boats, at least that is what the order/delivery list is suggesting. Then add the 11 of the Alter Cup 2007 = 26 which need to be build and some new orders and we'll be at 30 boats.

This is really looking good guys.
