It looks pretty already.
Nice work so far but there is a lot of work to do.
Are you planning to cross deck the rig from Antidote or have you got that sorted by another means?

Yes but there is a major mismatch with the colour schemes so will be using other sails for the show |

If you paint her lime green and put anti's sails on you could call her tik tak- then get sponsorship from a certain compass manufacturer.

Or paint her orange and get sponsorship from a major mobile network.

Painting done, name decided based on my first thought when I ripped of all the masking "Marmite".

I really like my tiller extension based string T foil adjustment system but I it would be better without the additional load of trying to push a lifting T foil down when adjusting it at speed

Yes very nice. Marmite is an apt name.
The painted/carbon look is really nice. Now both E6's have the strip of carbon showing on the aft beams. could be a design trade mark.
Will look great on the show stand and will probably clash with everthing else we have.
Now if there is a chance to get it on the water then we are at least in the running for the best boat in show again.
I know that is an ask given the time left and I do not expect it to be achieved.
