All the hardware    (some  recently posted on the blog) and most parts of the kit have  been    developed for production.<\/div>\n<div>Writing the manual is progressing daily and formatting it is not far behind.<\/div>\n<div>We will be able to cut kits for the PT Eleven after we finish this boat and the manual.<\/div>\n<div>We  are aware that it has been a long wait for some of you and you    may have  moved on to other ideas.\u00a0 We have had some pretty impressive     charachters view this boat and their critiques have been extremely     positive. The PT Eleven is a very highly developed kit boat and will  be    complete before putting it on the market.<\/div>\n<div>Pricing update: We still think we can sell this kit for $1,500.00 including the glass kit.<\/div>\n<div>Options  including rig and foils kits, water tight hatch kit and    other small  parts will be priced when fully developed. (Some of these    have been  posted on the blog)<\/div>\n<div>We are working on a very well developed sailing rig.<\/div>\n<div>The foils (daggerboard &amp; kick-up rudder) are CNC cut from Okoume plywood and finished by the builder.<\/div>\n<div>The mast is a 2 piece tapered carbon tube that fits into a sleeve in the hull. The boom is a tapered carbon tube as well.<\/div>\n<div>The  sail is a smaller version of the one in the videos, about 60    square  feet. The design is complete and beng made locally. Prices for    these  will be announced.<\/div>\n<div>We apologize to those who  have been waiting for awhile. This has    been a far more involved process  than we expected, but we believe that    the extra time spent has been time  well spent.<\/div>\n<div>This show model of the PT  ELeven, as well as the PT SKiff will be at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.woodenboat.org\/festival\" target=\"_blank\">Port Townsend Wooden Boat  Festival <\/a>on the weekend of September 9-11. Port Townsend Watercraft  will have a booth with Gougeon\/West System Epoxy.<\/div>\n<div>Feedback  and questions are welcome. If those of you who plan to    buy a PT Eleven  kit this year would like to reply and let us know, it    would help us a  lot in our scheduling.<\/div>\n<div>Best regards to all,<\/div>\n<div>Ashlyn &amp; Russell Brown<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russell and I want to let everyone know that we are much closer to having the PT Eleven nesting dinghy done.
