These are just three of some 120 panels that go to make the Proteus 106 catamaran kit. This one is special to South Africa as it will be assembled on the east coast and we will soon have a series of build pictures.

The order will be collected next week and will be transported to the build site for home construction.


Imagine setting this out by hand then cutting it out with an electric jig saw!


With spot on accuracy from the CNC machine and being repeatable we can make one designs time after time and once the first boat produced has been measured there will be little point in measuring those builds that follow?

The picture sure shows what a lot of cutting the CNC machine had to do and should prove the worth in you buying our kit. That's Joseph on the left and professional boat builder Peter on the right.

We used five sheets of okoume marine plywood made to BS1088, the wastage factor was around 15% so very little left over with this kit.

Mirror Dinghy sets are only available world wide from licenced kit suppliers, until now they were all cut out by hand!

Now we know why they were expensive and took so long to manufacture.

News,

Thursday March 13th 2014.

I saw this kit just yesterday and late morning around 11.30am, this afternoon I get a phone message to say the panels are now wired together dry and Peter the builder says this is the best CNC boat kit he has ever assembled.

Great news!
