![]() I have attached a link below sent by Kyle Stewart to a NZ article on the building of a wood V8, certainly is a beautiful job resulting in a boat to be proud of so hopefully it might inspire others to have a go. I worked out the other day that a new V9 would cost all up about $4000 so building your own would save half the cost but the real bonus would be in the satisfaction of building & owning such a beautiful & competitive boat. I think the fit out is a bit over built so more weight could be saved. In my workshop I still have a bunch of king billy planks run off by Tom Andrewarthur all I have to do is pluck up the courage & patience to give a wooden build a go - perhaps a new years resolution More Pictures >>> Andrew Wardrop
