Have you seen a Flying Fifteen in the Mould? I must admit – I haven’t. Newcastle is a heck of a way from Kent… and though I’ve had three built at Ovis, I’ve never been to see it in process. I have though been to Petticrows at Burnham and seen the Dragon building multiple times – my own Dragon included. Same thing really!! But I never saw a carbon boat in the mould….

This is Charles new boat in the mould. (You can click on the photo to enlarge) I guess the blackness is the carbon fibre and I must say it looks very neatly executed. Charles has given me a few photos taken during the build. We’ll post them on the blog over the coming days…

And my 20 year old floppy silver boat is supposed to be able to compete with that internationally! Ha! Come on BIFFA sort it out.
Should we only build ’em floppy then?!!! 🙂
