Very nice Stuey... Thanks for the pics and keep them coming.

BTW... Which end is the front?......................Just kidding..

What are the main changes between the old design and the new one?

DJ

Hey Dave, glad you like the look of the newie. There have been a few changes since the 16' but the concept and general design are the same. As it is 18'8" and a full 2'4" longer than the original Penetrator entirely new templates for both planshape and profile had to be drawn. Such an increase nesessitates this as at that size you cannot simply stretch the old design. It's only 1/2" narrower than the 16' but this has combined with the extra length to give its' needle like appearance. The rocker through the nose has been shifted slightly forward and decreased a tad to get a bit more of the length in the water and working for you and thickness has been increased allover by about 1/2" to help compensate for the deck concave which has been substancially deepened to lower the paddlers centre of gravity. Underwater shape has remained constant as we feel we are onto a winner there. This board should be ready for sea trials in about 5 days when Woogie will put it through it's paces, finding the sweet spot which will give the position for the steering system controls for the boards to follow. I'll post more photos on completion and a video of the beast in action during trials.......Thanks for the interest, Stuey

Have you exported the Penetrator to the US?

T

Mal, haven't as yet exported these, would like to get a few more in the water here yet but will be looking at it down the track for sure. If o.s. freight proves to be a killer we will be looking at having them produced under license. Cheers Stuey
