    Geez, what an interesting thread in the SA.com. All those photos of the Monster boat, the rig and all. Interesting discussion about the "shark slits" on the sides of the hull. Immaculate mirror finish to be seen in the video. A true example of Kiwi boatbuilding. (OK, I am not mentioning Moth´s here) Wish I could be there but maybe online at 07.30h am Saturday German time.
