Him and I have been working on it for almost a year.

Boat looks bitchin. Really like the ano-red accents against the black and white. Clean and simple is always a winner.

Amazing build!  Very impressed.  Let's see more of these builds happening! 
Being new to SCJB I have never been to a regatta.  Do u have to enter your boat?  Do u just come hangout?  What's the scoop guys I'd love to join!

The avi regatta i went to last year just showed up but its right up river from house. The show at avi   i believe you enter boat. Yes the pop up bits are stainless pot up cleats. Thanks for the likes guys im having fun with this build trying to incorporate things ive seen from different builds and come up with own along the way.
