The Aardvark built, Ellway designed E6 Cherub won the Spitfire concours award at the London Dinghy show over the weekend.
This was the first of the E6 Cherubs out of the moulds last summer and it’s owners have done an exceptional job finishing her off to the highest of standards! Aardvark Tech boats have been nominated in the past so the judges obviously appreciate good aesthetics!

Mike Cooke sailed his Ninja to 10th place at the 2011 Bloody Mary, making him top foiler on the day. Alex Adams was next in line, in 25th, also using Ninja foils.
2011 is shaping up to be a good year already!
We are soon to be taking stock of the popular Velocitek GPS units. Owners of Aardvark boats will get 10% off RRP and there will be a mount for both the Speedpuck and ProStart shortly.
For more information or to order one of these units please visit http://www.velocitek.com/ or get in touch with Mike.
Happy New Year everybody. Here’s your post-Christmas foil update!
Mike Cooke and Jason Belben have both been sailing with a set of experimental, very skinny, high modulus foils for for the latter half of the season. After a few months of testing, we know that they are very fast, but have been a little fragile. Kevin Ellway has worked on a few tweaks to the designs to correct this and Mike is about about to get the new moulds produced.
We intend to sell these new skinny foils from February 2011 onwards. They will fit existing Ninjas with very little modification, and the rudders can be used on all designs. If you are interested in a daggerboard conversion on another design get in touch, as this may also be possible.
Pricing will be confirmed in the near future, but expect them to be in the region of £1500 per foil.
If you are interested in getting your hands on the very latest kit from Aardvark HQ, drop us an email: mike@aardvarkracing.co.uk
We have been working hard on preparing new mandrels for the production of a new carbon OK mast. The prototype mast is now in the hands of Terry Curtis and has already won its first open meeting. Pricing is expected to be very competitive with the C-Tech offering.

It’s been a busy summer at Aardvark HQ. We’ve been knocking out Ninjas as fast as we can manage and have plenty on the books going forward. If you are after a new Moth to take on the world, you’d better get in touch fast before we’re all booked up!
Jason Belben sailed his Ninja to 10th place at the recent Moth Euros in Switzerland, with a couple of top 5 positions during the event. Mike Cooke and Ben Paton both featured in the top 20. Both sailors spent very little time on the water before the event, suggesting that good things are to come next season.
The UK Moth Nationals are down in Torbay, starting this Thursday. It should be a great event, so keep an eye on www.int-moth.org.uk for the latest news…
Mike Cooke, sailing the first of the 2010 Ninja,s took first in the foiler fleet at the Steve Nicholson race with two race wins. Alex Adams was runner up, sailing a Mistress 3 fitted with Ninja foils.
Cookie had a battle on his hands in the first race with a snakes and ladders style race. There were lots of holes and plenty of opportunities to mess it up. Cookie took the win from Alex in a close finish. The second race was in a bit more breeze, allowing Ninja Tuna to show her stuff. Cookie took the win by over half a lap, causing the race committee some confusion in the process!

The Ninja in action
Katherine Knight took to the skies over the weekend in her new Floppy. The foiling Oppy was dreamed up by Adam May a good few years back and it’s great to see the project come to life – especially as the Floppy is powered by Aardvark foils!
While Adam missed the fully airborne shot (followed by an abrupt crash, I would imagine with that blunt bow!) she shows plenty of potential. I’m sure there will be more to come!
