Could you put the link and a couple of words on the front page pls? (If web editor approves)

This is the second new boat launched in  2012, which makes it a good year already!

A little note saying there is no (and will be no) Arup Skiff class might add clarity.

I really like the wide gunwhales. Is the floor higher than the other E6's?

Do the gunwhales cause problems on the hoist? Here the crew gains stability by having feet wide apart. This places a limit on how widely the feet can be placed, unless on the raised part, which adds other problems.

Is this boat an E6 called Evo, or is it an E6 Evo, also called Evo? Or is it called something else?

Hee hee...did you actually manage a gybe Team Trim? 

(we're just jealous...fabulous boat)

...and I think the video should go into the video gallery, along with some Santander ones if they are not copyright

Looks really good.
I'm really pleased that you finished and are back on the water in an 05 rules boat.

The gunwales are really comfy to trapeze from. I think the floor is a bit higher than Marmite and Eleanor.
I didn't have any problems on the hoist re getting my legs wide enough apart  but admittedly it was flat water and I don't have the longest legs in the world... I'll keep you posted.
The boat's name is Evo. We asked Kevin about a design name - eg the E6(a) etc and he suggested the E6 Evo, which we thought was quite nice.

She looks great guys, you must be really happy to get sailing in her at last.

[john_hamilton]
