 Hi Bruce,          I trust you are keeping well, and hope you are getting good responses to your new Cat 35 etc Plans.

Re your request for an update, Geoff and his excellent Team are moving along very well, having mostly completed the building jig, and, as we speak, are starting to lay up the hulls/bridge-deck.

I understand Geoff has briefed you on the aesthetic changes he has been making. I am absolutely sure that once he has finished, you will fall in love with the look of the 1^st Bruce Roberts Cat 35!

Now being several weeks into the process, and therefore having had quite a lot of contact with Geoff and his key Team Members, I have been very impressed with the passion that he and his Team are putting into making this both a great performing boat, (supported by your excellent technical design), and a beauty to look at and be aboard.

The quality of their work, and the time and effort to make sure it is so, is second to none. Based on my experience, and that of many people I know who have exposure to boat building, this is a classic example of where a smaller, more personal operation results in a much greater attention to detail, greater pride in the level of quality, and excellent communication with the Customer.

It is interesting to note that Geoff has accomplished something that is hard to do anywhere, let alone in Thailand, and that is to have a group of workers who are skilled, who have been loyal to him for a long time, and who all take a very personal, and emotional interest in the boat they are working on.

In the words of his key Engineer, as we were talking about the time when the boat will be sitting in front of us as a finished product, “ I will not be looking at just a boat, I will be looking at something that is me, something that involves my name .... and I want to be proud of it!” This is Geoff’s attitude for sure, and one that he creates in his whole Team.

Hope that updates you, and creates the same confidence I have that we will all be proud of this first Cat 35! Have a great day, and please let me know if there is anything else you need.

Mike
