Not too many details as only just arrived at the builder in Batam. But stern section has been flattened out and the rear beam has been raised. Sure to be other changes, but that's all i know at this stage.

Front beam will be moved aft a bit as well. The new boat will look a little more Viper from what I was told some time ago.

Wow.. interesting HJS!

gotta say... I am fairly certain that they are building a new boat! Who did you speak to? I have heard from Greg Goodall's mouth "we have new Capricorn moulds in production after what we have learnt from the original Capricorn and now the Viper"

Any more information on hull design? Flattened stern they say but how about the rest? Do we think it will follow wild-cat thinking?

Hmmm. After starting this thread about a new Capricorn coming, HJS was adamant there wasn't, even to the stage of sending me lots of PMs telling me it was all untrue!

Is it a new Capricorn, or is it a new F18? HJS might still be right.

I think a new F18 from AHPC will always be seen as a replacement to the Capricorn. Can't see them producing Capricorn and another F18 in tandem.

As above... It's not a new Capricorn! It's a new F18!

The Capricorn will still be in production after the new boat comes out.

Hi John - how do you know? And if you are right and both boats remain in production, this only would make sense if the new F18 is at a considerable different (probably higher) price than the Capricorn. Like the Wildcat is much more expensive than the Tiger - which here in Germany nevertheless fades out of the regatta fields ...

I heard a rumor that the mold might be sold to a 3rd party who will resume production.

I heard a rumour Greg Goodall is sub-contracting the sails and rig to somebody else......NOT


If your going to throw 'rumours' around then provide a source!
