Looks fantastic on the (great looking) boat but a positively ring twitching lifting arrangement!

When are you hoping to have her fully rigged and out on the water for trials?

Just had the sea trial in the Solent after getting the e-tec pdi'd at Southcoast Marine....

Big grins ear to ear... the performance from the e-tec can only be described as Savage !!! 53 knots across the tide and out of the hole performance is incredible..
