Here we're gluing on the third and final seat front stringer. We've angled the seat front for a more sporty feel - eight degrees to match the coaming. We're having a rounded off seat front instead of the normal over hang on the Nav. Thats's the reason for the three stringers.
At the stern we've done away with the aft deck and changed to a scooped out transom.
Navigator S is a John Welsford designed 4.5m dinghy built in Tauranga, New Zealand. The S for Sports represents the racing rig option and a few ‘go faster’ modifications we've made. The builders were Luke (22), Zac (16) and Roy (the Dad).
We started building in May 2005. Work has been done on-and-off, on weeknights and Saturdays. She was launched on 19 January 2008.
