Its looking awesome, i can't wait to see her out on the water.

Even though my power boat has got 580hp i may struggle to keep up!

This thread is giving me boat envy, from BAR and the contributors!

3 lovely boats (including your own) chaps! If anyone every needs crew......???

Wait until the spring when the weather picks up and if you want a mid week day on the water i'm not adverse to some crew - so long as you know one end from the other!

I'm keen to see "our" boat in action and definitely intend to be out on the water in 2015/16 when the America's cup series will be coming to the Solent. Dates have been announced by ACWS as 23rd - 26th July 2015 and 21st - 24th July 2016.

For me the BAR Americas Cup bid is like Bloodhound, fantastically exciting for those that 'get' it but sadly overlooked by the majority.

Hopefully recognition will grow and more people will start to follow it. Its certainly more exciting than boring F1 with much more overtaking!

Just looked at your profile
