Wanted: Entertaining Chefs
Nauta
Design and the Gunboat team have completed design work on the 'Galley
Up' version of our new Gunboat 55 series. The flexibility in layout of
the two aft cabins and the galley location is leading to some terrific
customized layouts to suit each owner.

Put a Lid on It
The
new Gunboat 55 deck mold was produced in-house over the past several
weeks. The tool was post cured in our oven while still on the plug to
minimize shrinkage. The mold was pulled from the plug this week, and
turned over for final positioning on the Gunboat 55 series production
line.

LOADED!
The carbon and core is loaded in the mold for the 2nd GUNBOAT 55. The vacuum bag is on, and infusion has started. Look for the 2nd GUNBOAT 55 hull to emerge in the coming week on our Blog and on Facebook!

A Big Present in the Belly of the Beast
Fully
shrink-wrapped, GUNBOAT 78-01 looked like a big present ready to arrive
at GUNBOAT in time for the Holiday Season! While she could not quite
fit on Santa's sleigh, the team did manage to fit her below decks on a
freighter bound for Baltimore. Watch this space for her planned tow down
the Chesapeake and the Intercoastal Waterway to GUNBOAT.

TWO PAWS UP for the Award Winning TIGER LILY!!!
We
give a two paws up salute to the owners and crew of the GUNBOAT 66
TIGER LILY. At the recent BVI Charter Show, TIGER LILY walked away with
two of the five Awards given at the show!! First mate, Tracy Jenkinson
and Capt Harvey Jenkinson were on hand to accept the awards for BEST
MULTIHULL & GREENEST YACHT. We think she deserves an award for the
most stunning paint job and graphics! Congratulations to the TIGER LILY
team. They are raising the bar in the GUNBOAT fleet!

Ramping It Up!
The
North Carolina Department of Transportation teamed up with the Wanchese
Seafood Industrial Park to create a new 40'-wide ramp next door to
GUNBOAT. The ramp will enable GUNBOAT and the neighboring boat yards to
better serve the sailing catamaran market. GUNBOAT plans to begin
service work on GUNBOAT's beginning in May 2013. Nearby yards are keen
to help build this area into a catamaran service mecca for the industry.

MOONWAVE Readies to Sail the World
The
first GUNBOAT 60 is completing sea trials off Xiamen, China. On a
recent sea trial day, she easily exceeded 20 knots with the owner and
Captain Stephane Fumat at the helm. The finish of the GUNBOAT 60 series
is exceptional, and her Nigel Irens design is a major step forward for
GUNBOAT's next generation of series (55, 60 & 78).
