Anyone know Mr. Drain, in Australia, and know if he's still active? His large scale RCPT boat designs are fantastic, and I want to order his hull, deck and superstructure kits. I've emailed him twice, with no response and his website shows Jan. '07 as last updated.

Any info appreciated.

I just finished doing the planking on my John Drain laser cut bulkhead and keel kit. Excellent fit and finish, very well designed and engineered.

Follow his suggestions on the orientation of the planking and you will be pleased.
