2006 "Celtic Warrior" (origionaly launched as Warlock) was built in Cape Town using a radius chine plywood construction method. This method allows the builder to produce quick and simple, yet light and strong, boat. No expense was spared when the equipment was sourced to go onto the boat. Sparcraft provided a super light but strong three spreader mast, while North Sails spent months developing the perfect sails for the boat. Only the best Harken deck hardware was selected and Southern Ropes manufactured all custom Spectra ropes. After some extensive testing along the South African coast "Warlock" was then sent back to the shed for some minor changes and upgrades, and a complete new paint scheme. Brand new carbon fibre rudders were also ordered from Phil's Foils in Canada."



Le bateau est transporté vers l'Europe. Pour faire la Mini Barcelona en octobre.
