A refurbished and newly painted U-13 will be leaving the Auburn, Washington shop Sunday 6/24/07 for the first 2007 race of the season. Over the winter a multitude of new parts were fabricated and several areas inside the boat was modified and improved from 2006. Although there has not been a lot of news coming out of the U-13 camp this winter, that was by design. We are now ready to unveil our efforts and are looking forward to running the entire six race schedule. For many people who saw the boat last year they will probably notice some very subtle changes. The major modifications have involved an improved cockpit as well as other internal changes. There is a multitude of other changes that may or may not be noticed but all should improve what we believe was a very good and fast boat in 2006. The hull remains extremely light but the team will be using this fact as a positive for adjusting to individual race site conditions.
Hopefully we will be able to run the entire circuit without any major incidents but we have come to the realization “it ain’t easy being green”.
