RJ West, owner of Composite Craft Boats in Manteca, CA is building my new SST 45 race boat. RJ is the current national champion in 45's so he knows a thing or two on how to build a fast boat.
After my barrel roll at this years San Diego Bayfair race my boat was so torn up it didn't make sense to repair it so I'm going new for 2014.
This is the start, spraying the bottom gelcoat. Boat will be all composite, no wood. Bottom will be black, deck will be mainly white with red graphics. It will be the first 45 built with several design changes that RJ has tested with success on larger F1 boats.
I'll post pics all through the process as it comes to life. It will be race ready for the first race in March.
