New year, new shed, new boats on time....


Assassin has started the new year off with a bang, and a few new year resolutions! All our new orders will be on time! It has been a big issue with boats going out the door late and we have made sure that won't happen again. We thank all our customers who have had to wait longer than expected for their patience and understanding. Last year was tough, not quite knowing how things were going to pan out and several issues that had to be addressed. Overall we are very happy with the direction that the Assassin is going in and we are looking forward to a very fulfilling and sucessful year. We might even have time to get some sailing in ourselves...

Starting the year off in a new factory Assassin now has a dedicated Moth Building facility of over 600sq/m, a huge relief after our much smaller temporary factory. Being well setup we are much more efficient and moving forward in leaps and bounds. Our development programme is constantly testing new ideas and refining the boat, getting feedback from our professional sailors. We now have blistering speed in the light with our new low drag Holroyd foils without losing our top end speed, several boats are currently flirting with 30knots - but no proof yet! Won't be far away...
