Perry 43’ Carbon Cutter Test Sail

It was a beautiful day for a test sail in the Pacific Northwest. With only 12 knots of true breeze, the boat moved along nicely on a reach easily getting up to a speed of 8 knots. More pictures and videos of the crew testing many of the systems and sails on board available here.


Perry 43' Carbon Cutter #2 Launched

On October 16th, we launched boat two of the Perry 43 in Anacortes, Washington. This traditional design features modern amenities blended with state of the art carbon fiber composite construction. Boat two was upgraded from AGM batteries to a larger capacity lithium battery system making it 1,000 pounds lighter than the first boat. The modern sail plan is enhanced by a carbon fiber rig and a sail stowing pocket boom making it possible for one person to deploy a full batten mainsail.

Perry 43 - Hull Roll Video

Perry 43 - Hull #1 Roll

We are making great progress on the Perry 43 project. Construction of the hull shell for boat #1 is complete and we have installed primary interior structure. On Wednesday, we brought in a 100 ton crane and flipped the hull… always an eventful day! We had the GoPro going as well and will post some video shortly. Happy Thanksgiving!

Perry 43 - Hull Lamination Video

Where would we be without friends? One thing we wouldn't have is this awesome video from the venerable Anomaly Engineering. He captured lamination of the carbon hull shell on the Perry 43' project and used some digital wizardry to bring this to you. Thank you Jon!


Perry 43 - Hull Shell #1 Complete

On the Perry 43 project, we have completed lamination on the hull shell for boat #1. In parallel, we have made great progress on the deck tool, rudder construction, and "chastity strut." Pace on this project has been so fast it has been hard for ye olde webmaster to keep!
