The Flatpack

After several months of design reviews and dicussion, I have finally ordered the mould so that I can begin construction of my new Flatpack IC (developed by MECHAR Pty Ltd). The Flatpack International Canoe is an IC built to the current rules, with the goal of allowing easy construction of a high performance IC. The mould, frames, mast step, foils/cassettes are all pre-fabricated at MECHAR Pty Ltd and are purchased as a kit with build instructions.
I will be building the first of these Flatpack boats (actually we will be building 2 or possibly 3 initially in Adelaide), with the build commencing in October 2008 - our build is the beta for the Flatpack IC before it is available to everyone. We will be regularly posting pictures and articles as the build progresses.
