Ok, so what are we actually buying.....?

Fortunately I can refer to some others who are far more eloquent than I am, and who know design and boats better than many, to describe the HB50 - the designers webpage, as well as a 'review' in SA Yacht Blog.

Once I have access to the drawings and manuals, I will update with more 'tech' stuff; so for now this will have to do : )
