They update it on Facebook. It’s been painted and I think they are starting to rig it.

OK I hope they safely top 200 mph! On Dec.10 the kilo boat looked like this. Ready for paint and rigging:

thanks, too bad it's not being updated here as well.
hopefully any testing footage will make it on you tube right away
