One more great video from Holo Holo Charters.

Interestingly, aside from the inflatables, Kevin built all his own boats.

Looking far better than it did when I had it.

This trailer came over from Seattle in the container also. Formula 40 tri at about 4000 lbs.

I got this pic of a KHSD 23 tri sailing down under also. I see it has the sliding tubes get on the trailer option.  I lost track of whose it is.  Anyone can help?

This shot of one of the KHSD 63 trimarans was snared by ElJay.  Not sure where it is for this.

I just got this pic of Sam Bell’s KHSD 38 tri down under.  Out there doing it again.

I got this note today.  Interesting.
“Dear Mr. Hughes,
I found a post online from you that refers to a confidential design bid proposal request.

It is highly unprofessional for you to start posting complaints about us and referring to a confidential bid request.

I also do not remember offering to pay anything for Bid Requests on the Project.

The project is ongoing and any damages from your releasing inappropriate confidential information may come back to haunt you.

Please immediately remove you references to our Bid Proposal and the “New Stiletto 10 Meter”, as you do not have trademark ownership or license to do so.

Regards,

Jay M. Phillips Managing Director – Stiletto Manufacturing, Inc.

Jay,

I tip my hat.  Well played.  The project is already generating controversy buzz and it is just beginning.  Only problem is nobody reads this blog.

I went back over the request email.  There is nothing about confidential.  Zero.  And I see no complaints.  Just reporting what I saw.  Is illegal for me to discuss a design?  Were my points not good? If I do several hours of unpaid work for you, surely I get an opinion on it.  And glancing back, they look good to me.

I’ve done a few start up projects.  It might have been useful to listen to some of my notes in the extensive emails we exchanged and the blog page.  A combination of my skill doing more with less, my stylist’s eye and Rafi’s folding system would have been killer.

This is very cool.  Download the Searunner Construction Manual.

Probably nothing in it applies to boatbuilding now, but there is no other book with better sense of the adventure of building your own multi boat.  Or sailing your multi-I remember something about always assuming your motor will die and being ready for that.
