- Original Model year 2008. TYD#282.
- A new commission for a Class 40.
- This one from Hawaii. Unlikely place for the Class, nevertheless a boat with a program of distance travels.
- Long observer of the 40's, I started in 2008 with the first study; a simplified version to get my feet wet; as seen above and below.
- This Model, 2009 is further improved with more stability and with harder chines.
- Very basic, until 2011 when I introduced what I believe the first so called "Scow Bow". Granted, largely inspired by David Raison's Mini Transat of that year with a round nose and a winner. Adopted to a 40, the volume is enormous and soon the Class Association put a dent to the size, by placing limits in terms of measurements.
