Steve Muck's long time racing partner and friend, John Borden is now offering his boat building skills to others through his business, Lone Star Racing Boats. John now has access to all of the molds from Steve.This has not been widely publicized until now. This is a hobby for John and his building will be kept at that level. He is, however, interested in supplying his skills on a limited basis. These offerings are being presented online with the assistance of yet another friend, Bill Brandt of Rattlesnake RC, Http://www.allrc1.com.

Now that is old.

The Mono molds in did not get.

I dont think he has the Northwind at the house but will ask.

 

[Brian Schymik]

Great hulls! I've been very happy with mine.

I have 4 of the Leland Pico hulls painted as various boats and they are fast!

John does a good layup, strong but not too heavy.

That's great news John! The bottom is the most critical piece. Hopefully it is still in good enough condition to produce clean, straight, mold's. I would prefer to have an epoxy-glass layup (not polyester-glass resin).

I believe I can layout and fabricate my own wood deck and inner piece's. I have the original full size plans for the Northwind 20 kit to use as a guide. I forget the exact dimensions of the Northwind 40?
