The Spirited 380 being built in Nowra NSW is looking much more finished with most surfaces inside and out primed. The level of detail can easily be appreciated with all fittings and equipment pre-fitted. Chris will live on this boat full time when launched so he wants everything perfect. This is always a nice stage to reach because the end is in sight! We can't wait to see this beautiful example of this design launched!

This Spirited 230 kit is currently under construction in Turkey.  The client reports most of the interior, hull, deck and  rooftop is nearly ready for the final top coat, wiring and plumbing is also done. The quality of workmanship is excellent and we congratulate Sami. We've received feedback regarding his experience with this project: 

'Overall, I am very happy with my boat and of course credit goes to you for designing a very nice boat with even the smallest detail considered.'

This design has been very well received for those wanting a compact cruiser which is trailerable and easy to manage. This design is supplied as a comprehensive kit package specifically aimed at DIY building. For more information see our Spirited 230 Design and Kit page.

This Spirited 230 from the Central Coast NSW,
is just finalising it's launching preparations. 

This is a great example of a spirited kit assembled
with good attention to detail. The client has made 
his own composite bow and stern railing  
and ensured all of the build is done prior to launch.

Photos to be posted soon.

    We are currently building a 3.6m Ripple tender for a client,
    using the DuFlex foam kit option. 

    This kit was customised to include an extra 200mm of beam
    and it will be well finished with all fittings and rub rail. 
   
    On completion it will be delivered to the client in QLD. 
    More progress photos will be posted soon.

Within a couple of weeks from the start of assembly, this clients Spirited 480 now has it's main hull structure built. Most of the work is done by one person and heavy lifting has been done with occasional help. An advantage has been that all parts are relatively manageable for man handling.

For more information please view our Kits and Designs pages. 

The latest launched 4.2m Ripple tender demonstrates the excellent carrying capacity
of this design:

• The interior volume is relatively
  spacious for this size boat. 
   
• The twin hulls offer good stability and support when loaded.
   
• This design has shown that it will accomodate the targa and hardtop efficiently.

Versatile kit packages offer a range of different materials to suit different preferences and budgets.

• Gaboon plywood kit packages have been popular for it's economical cost. Keeping the build cost low.
• DuFlex kit options have been popular for those preferring a more ​high-tech build material. 

​See our Ripple Tender page for more information.

Launched over christmas, this project from Victoria is now out on the water. 

The clients are happy with their Ripple tender and report 

' Tender works a treat with a 15 Yamaha on it and rows really well.'

The Wilson family have all jumped in with great enthusiasm to build their very own 4.2m Ripple Tender.

Being overseas the Wilson's opted to buy the plans only and source their material locally. They are building from Gaboon plywood and doing a very nice job of it. It is so nice to see the kids getting involved and from what we hear they are the main driving force. What a great family bonding experience to all be involved in a project such as this.

An owner from Hervey Bay recently reported on his 4.2m Ripple tender after some thorough sea trials. He has promised some photos of the boat underway soon which we will post as soon as received. You can see his comments below:

"The 4.2m Ripple got up to 38KPH (24knots) and was very Smooth, took her out in a bit of rough stuff and she handled like a dream, was very impressed with her performance, my centre console design works well, even with 3 people she planed easy.  On Xmas day I put 9 people on board to go to shore and she handled it like a dream could have fitted more as it did not seem crowded and she held the weight well buoyancy-wise.  Does not seem to use much fuel either which is a blessing.  Overall very happy and even my wife loves it."
