Hi Luke, Zac, and Roy I saw you out on the Harbour yesterday (Saturday 02/02/08), I was paddling with my two sons in an orange kayak just by the starboard hand mark and you were on your first tack. She is a beautiful boat! I felt a thrill as my brother Andrew has just finished building and painting a Navigator and it is in our garage in Auckland waiting to be rigged. Can you tell me what outboard you have fitted? Best wishes George Laking georgelATadhb.govt.nz
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.

Thanks for the nice comments. I will post soon.
We have a 2hp Yamaha 4 stroke, but I've sent you an email.
