I was told by a person who wanted to purchase the moulds that the 580 hull mould was used to make the Slipstream TY and that the 580 deck mould was destroyed. See previous posts below.

All The Status Slipstream class dimensions are in Yachting Victorias web site. Click on the Divisions tab then click on Victorian Trailable Division then on CBH handicaps then on detailed CBH and then look at the figures for the Status Slipstream.
You could maybe also contact the Canberra Yacht Club and try and get in touch with the person there who was selling the moulds. I think he is the only boat fibreglasser in the ACT. I was told that he also had the moulds for the contender and the flying dutchman.
I remember racing against the prototype Slipstream in NSW TYA races way back in the early eighties. She was a light air rocket machine but when the wind kicked in she was uncontrolable. She had a hot shot crew on board then and yet even they had trouble keeping her flat going to windward and down wind they also had problems handling her with her very big spinnaker!!!
I reckon trailer yacht CBH racing is at the point of colapse at the moment and I think the only way to go is your way, which is the sports boat way. I am thinking though maybe your choice of boat is not the best?
