Harry has been modified for a second time. A number of clients wanted a larger boat than Harrigami, which could be trailered very occasionally. The 'extended' Harry suited this application but some didn't like the sleeping arrangement with the feet under the cockpit seats and the head at the 'wrong' end. So we considered a number of options and settled on this Harry with a 9 meter windward hull.
This allows for two double berths laying fore and aft with head towards the cockpit. The ww hull displacement is now a very useful 1200kg with a draft of 350mm.
The Harry 'Aroha' started in 2003 by Bain Robinson in Urunga, NSW Australia has now been launched (Dec 2006). It feels surprisingly spacious inside and has proven to be quick and easy to build.
Another Harry has been started in France already by Francois Mugnier who will be promoting this model in Europe. A second boat is already likely at the same yard.
