The manta moth design
 Following these amazing boats for several years we have been very keen to get involved. When a good customer of Maguire boats and current fireball sailor handed us a deposit in October 09’ the project was born. Much of the hull design worked had been done over the last year, so it was just a case of getting it built! With 4 boats on order these boats this year will help us learn as much as possible and refine the design with the possibility of launching a ‘semi’ production model next year. This page will contain updates and news on this exciting project. See the Photo galley for launch pictures and these pictures by Lloyd images
