[hpv-boats] Ian's V15-I

[Rick Willoughby]

I went out with Ian C yesterday to do some filming of his new boat at  
launch.  It was windy with average of 25kts and gusts to 35kts so  
filming from my boat was bouncy.  The results are posted on Youtube:

Ian made some slight changes to the design and is using the in-line  
shaft arrangement with his 1:3.3 Involute made box with curved shaft  
all used on previous boat. The boat performed well and he was pleased  
with the way the wave piercing foredeck worked.
