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.

I haven't looked at you site for a bit...in fact, it was when you reassured me of the B1 bulkhead positioning on my Navigator build back in May!!
I just wanted to say that the finish work on the hull looks amazing!! It's going to be a beautiful boat! Hoping mine looks 1/2 as nice!
3 more months?? Are you going to make it??

Thanks very much Tim! The other day someone couldn't believe it wasn't sprayed, which was great for our egos ;o)
I think it just comes down to how many hours you're prepared to sand and fill (and sanding off a coat of paint when you stuff it up).
