very cool, thanks dave. great pics. keep 'em come'n :D :D

Thats a Beautiful Boat! Jo

Thanks Jo !!! That one will be the "High Noon" boat of Richey Sr. and Richey Jr. Legoure. We have another 29 Closed race boat being built as we speak and a couple of 29' Open Pleasures being built also. Thanks, Dave Warden

Wardey,

Just curious if you would disclose the dimensions on the canopy after it comes out of the mold? Also would you be willing to sell just a canopy cockpit to someone? Any idea on the cost of just the cocpit if sold that way???? Any pics of the inside of the various canopies you have laid up on a few boats. Would lov to see them rigged or unrigged.

Thanx,
DPT
:cool: :cool: :cool:

DPT - Sorry but can't disclose the dimensions or sell just the canopy, but i'll try and find a pic for you. Dave

Kool deal, I am just curious thats all. I have followed these boats for some time and remember sitting in Miklos's boat when it was just a bare hull in ST Pete at the worlds back in 1999. The boat was under a tent along with the Energy Extreme Boat also. After seeing how Rick Turmels boat performed it was a given on how great these boats are.

I was just really curious about one thing. Extreme seems very precise when laying up new boats. How long is the turn around time for a New SVL. I am really thinking the SVL class is going to be the way to go.

DPT - For a SVL it's about a 3 month build time before it goes to the rigging shop. Thanks, Dave

Any luck on those pics Wardey. Just curious, no rush.

DPT - Here's one I did find of a "ROUGH" pic of the capsole. I don't have any pic's of the finished capsole tho. I will be sure and take some of the current SVL boat we are finishing up as we speak. Dave

and here's one with the Deck / Capsole Bond. Dave

great pics Dave. i read somewhere that your boats are 100% composite (no wood) is that true? thanks :cool:

100% Wood Free !!! Dave

Thank You Wardey!!!!

Any new pics Dave?

Another SVL boat is ready for the paint shop. Mark is doing the paint prep right now and will be applying the paint graphics this week. I'll post pic's. After that, we will get back to work on the 29' open boats. Dave

Wardey,

Who's boat is this???? Just curious.

Hmmmmmmm ??????:D :D :D I don't know if they want it announced yet.....but i'll release the info as soon as I find out the clearance is cool..... Super Secret Stuff ya know.:D :D :D Dave

Sorry DPT, it was a hush,hush deal there for awhile. It's Kostalac's. He sold his Phantom. Here she is :

Can I please ask what your choice of coring is? Thicknesses?

Corecell is the choice. Dave

:cool: :cool:


Can I ask the reason why Corecell over a comparable product like Divacell?


Thanks!

Hey Cord, Corecell has just been a good product. You can order it in different thicknesses and with preferated holes to pull the resin through. Mark orders a complete corecell, mat kit , so to say, for each boat. The material comes in on a palate then you just start cutting the patterns out and start laying it all out. Dave

Wardey is the Fuel Cell located underneath the Canopy?

Thanks,

DPT

DPT - Yes, most of it is under the floor of the cockpit canopy. Dave Warden
