Yes, I know that boat. It is the second built from the same set of molds mine was.

The owner is a Spaniard pilot. He bought the kit from the Brazilian shipyard for delivery to Riga where the designer was supposed to complete, assemble and rig it. The kit was shipped with some months delay in perfect order (as per the photos I received).

The boat suffered superficial damage during transport due to hitting the container's walls. Upon arrival the designer took six months to take the boat out of customs, parts were stolen, fines collected due to the delay and, following the accumultaion of problems with the designer, the owner decided to finish the boat elsewhere.

What happened afterwards is unclear to me.

What I can assure is that, as in my case, the boat was constructed strictly according to the available plans and both the shipyard and the designer were paid in full. I assisted the owner in this area and the payments went through the bank I worked at.
