A. The directors hope, depending strongly on the availability of adequate funding, to have the prototype Phoenix in the water by sometime in 2007. We are also close to the quotation stage for the design and construction of a replacement wingsail system for our first-built 45-foot Zefyr, Sea Change. In use in Florida since 1995, she was severely damaged by flying debris during two hurricanes, Rita and Wilma, in September and October 2005. Her owner is eager to again benefit from the advantages of our wingsails, and we hope to be providing him with an updated wingsail system as soon as is humanly possible. A similar twin wing thruster, only differing in height to provide more thrust for a heavier boat, could be fitted to the Inventure the development of our original Blue Nova, whose owners are also in the market for a new rig. A quotation is being prepared. Much depends on the availability of sufficient capital to step up the level of Shadotec plc’s activities on all fronts. Detail desig
