Building ARRIBA in New Zealand

[John Haswell]

Hi Guys

Thought I’d post a photo of the inside of Oonagh before turned her over to complete the painting of the hull.

As you will see I’ve deviated some what from the design to suit my intended use and would like to post about these changes but not sure where to do it or if it is appropriate to do so.

Well done, John. Yes, please feel free to post your modifications.  This section would be a good place for that:

ARRIBA / OONAGH – 14 – Bulkheads & Compartment

John – Wow! That is beautiful! Well done! The color contrasts are awesome.

Thanks Steve

John, are you going to be able to upload any of your build photos? I know I would like to see how you progressed. Your finishing detail is beyond reproach.

Hi Doug

Thanks for your kind comments and my apologies for not having responded earlier. Yes I will post some build photos, I’ve taken quite a lot (as you do) so will sort out a few and get them up.p

Its been an exciting build and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I started from scratch, off the plans, as the kitset option was not available here.

Glad to say we have a CNC partner doing a great job on cutting and shipping kits in New Zealand now. Out of Opua in the Bay of Islands.

Hi John!  Any finished photos?  I really like what you did with the daggerboard bench.  I think I will copy that when I build mine.  Have you had it out sailing?  Rob

Hi John

I have just ordered plans and plan to build from scratch. I also live in Nz. Where in Nz do you live
