Ovington Boats, one of the UK’s outstanding builders of high performance racing dinghies and skiffs has just announced that they have become the licensed UK builder of the Byte.
David Hall, in an interview with Maggie Futcher, President of the UK Class Association, had this to say:
'We are very pleased that Ovington Boats will be building this delightful boat. The new CII rig has completely transformed the boat and it now fits exceptionally well into our current range of boats giving us the single-hander we have been missing'
Rigs and parts will be available in the New Year and boats should be on line late spring.
By the way, there is no magic in the name CII. It is simply shorthand for 'Carbon, II (two) piece mast'.
