[MHml] Warp Speed

[Rob Denney]

G'day,
The boat was way over built (25mm H100 foam in the bottom which was
only 300mm or so wide.  It was not a stepped hull, but had a flat
bottom tapering into a conventional bow.  It was very wide, very big
rig, not much bow buoyancy and the owner got bored with it pretty
early on.

No idea where it is now.

regards,

Rob
