Cap made in Argentina

After more than 2 years, another local F18 project is ‘online’. Licensed from AHPC Australia, Ian Rodger is locally building a modified Capricorn with an elevated rear beam.

Already report on build quality and benefits on that elevated beam. But didn´t have a good pic, so here you go.

The 1st Cap was imported, so comparing you can´t honestly tell the quality difference (after that elevated beam of course) Mast, beams, daggers and rudders are imported.

With a lower range price than imported Nacra Infusions and with local support, right now the local Cap is an excellent choice for the South American market.

We are waiting for Brazil to wake up too (large H16 fleet), maybe 1st F18 South American on Jan-Feb 2011 ar Uruguay will be the definitive step for them to join us.

Above Ian testing his 1st local made Cap.
Below a good pic from this weekend showing the modification made in the local mould.
