New Club 500 Boat Design
John Senior, who is one of the Club 500's most successful racers, has produced a new design for a Club 500 racing boat, which should be at least as competitive as most existing designs, to encourage more members to take up fast electric boat racing.
He will be building this boat over the winter, ready for the 2025 season, and has published the plans for others to use as well. He will be adding further information as the build progresses.
The plans comprise 14 sheets, of full size drawings, in PDF format, in both A2 and A4 sizes, together with detailed assembly advice.
These are available to download as a single compressed .ZIP file, which you will need to unzip.
