Is this from the mold that is the "pass around"?
What are you using for a rig?
Have you figured out the total final costs?
When is the first race?
This boat is made from a mold that Steve Clark and Dirk Kramers own. Its a Dirk Kramers design revision #17, so its a DK17. They were looking for a "big and tall" person's A cat and decided to design something with more volume. Even though the bows look like an A2 its got more volume in the bottom of the hulls for those of us who need more volume.

I got a Hall mast, made to my weight and the bend charactoristics described by my sailmaker. Hall also specified the spread rake, and sweep and prebend.
The Bristol guys race every Tuesday, so if I dont have any major issues this weekend, I'll try to show up next Tuesday in Bristol.
Materials cost around $11k. Its hard to calculate the exact cost since I have a half a roll of carbon left and epoxy left over and other misc stuff.
The more important question is - whats it weigh?
