Hi Martin,We have one Spyder in Ireland, built in 1986. I remember bringing Richard Woods and Nigel Irons to see it when it was being built. (Tony Bullamore and Patrick Boyd were also in Dublin that weekend for a Multihull Seminar - Those were the days <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />)
When the first hull was being built, my friend was supplied with the wrong epoxy glue - it was too brittle and the strip planks started springing apart. When the hull was dropped over the edge of a local dump, it exploded - only strips of wood were left. The Spyder was finally completed and I believe is still sailing.
