I finished V14 today and took it for a short run.
It gets to 11kph quite easily. Probably a little harder to get to
above 12kph than V11J but then has a higher top speed. I have
already hit 17.3kph without any tuning.
I have some pictures here:

The bare hull ended up weighing 11.5kg after painting. With rudders
and drive frame it is 19kg. The outriggers add 3kg more. I have made
the outriggers plug-in so they are transported separately to the main
hull. The main hull is light enough and ballances well enough to be
carried in one hand using the frame as a handle.
