Well, as many of you know, i am currently building a DKM Admiral Sheer on a Ralph Coles hull. I just recently cut out the windows, and let me tell you, that hull is thick. Not only is mine a nice color, but it has great lines, the bulge is fantastic and is well laid and strong. I know others have this hull too, so please, share your thoughts too. The only thing is minor defects, which are hardly noticeable. 9.5/10.....good job Ralph!

I am building this hull to and I love Ralphs work, this is going to be my sons boat as he has fallen in love with the Deutchland class as you can see by the photos in my signature, so I am making him one of his own and this hull is a beauty to work on and the lines are very sexy, nice fiberglass and gel-coat work, and great detail to the hull. PS: The DKM Deutchland in the photo is a straight sided Swampy hull not the nice bulged hull like Ralph's Thanks Ralph!

Ralph has sold this mold to a member of our club and he is willing to make others as soon as he is sure he makes a quality product, he has pulled some already but have not had a chance to see one up close, but knowing the individual he will not let anything go out unless he is very satisfied with it, if anyone is interested you can check on our club web site, (see my signature block) [] Marks address is: http://hindenberg01.multiply.com/ PS: he also has molds for nassau, and some others too cheers.
