My family had a 32' Rhodes Swiftsure in the 60s also built in Holland by deVries Lentch, Inc. and Royal Netherlands Aircraft. It was incredibly well built so I'm not surprised your Javelin has lasted as long so well.
Was the nesting option something you worked out on your own? Do you have photos or info about the fastenings, etc., you used for holding the bow and stern sections together? Thx.
Great job! Have you ever sailed side by side with a Herreshoff Fish class or a Pisces sloop (derived from the Fish )? I've wondered how each compared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYl4rl5t6GQ
