[hpv-boats] New Boat

[Rick Willoughby]

I completed a new boat in time for the Murray Marathon but family  
concerns prevented participation.

I have posted some pictures here:

I have only had the boat out a few times and have already got it  
going faster than any other.  Top speed so far is 19kph and I expect  
I will get a bit more.

I am still battling to get weight below 20kg.  This one came out at  
21.5kg.  I will need to vacuum bag the hull to get lower.

Best wishes to all for 2012.
