Yes, I saw it there when we went to Warwick this time last year. If I remember correctly it was right by a bridge in a spot extremely well shaded by trees so it's possibly looking rather green by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_fincher Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Is the one with flowers on the one that used to have a large sign on saying "generator run late at night" or something similar, or is it a different one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Didn't see any signs or flowers. Noted that it had a small outboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a design based on one hull of a New Zealand sailing catamaran I believe. It's only had an outboard for the last 2 years, before that it was poled or bowhauled around.
