Major Modifications June 2005
Existing Saloon roof was removed and replaced with foam core and polyester glass, prefabricated by Express Multihulls (formally of Shorncliffe). Join completed in epoxy/glass for bond strength. Extra 300mm width either side and additional head room increased saloon volume and allowed step into hulls with out head knocks. 4 x forward facing opening vertically mounted "Bomar" hatches provide absolute control over air-flow. Existing deck winches and head sail track optimised for single handed control from central helm position
