Your right with one of your comments "learn from one of the best sailors/ sail makers in the game" - After all, this is where and how Glenn Ashby started his sailing career.
Your definition of a "boat" is a little of a worry. Yes, hulls and foils are made off shore...... but last time I looked at a Capricorn or a Viper there was masts, sails, rigging, fittings..... A lot of which is manufactured at the Bendigo site..... And of course, this is also where all the design & development takes place which many would describe as the most exciting!
