TS5.4  'Flash' under spinnaker. Note she is being sailed by one man and small son. 'Flash' has won many races since being launched, including some of the biggest trailer yacht races in Australia.
	'Flash' on her trailer. Note that cabin top is slightly non standard.
	'Gitana' sailing in Great Sandy. 'Gitana is built true to plan.
	'Gitana again.
	The TS5.4 is easily trailed on a standard trailer.
	This TS 5.4 was actually one of the first 2 launched. Both she and 'Flash' hit the water on the same day. Sailing in Launceston, Tasmania.
	This one is at Airlie Beach.
	Building the cold molded version. The stringered mould does not remain in the hull. The inside of the hull is clean and stringer free. This mold can also be used to build a foam / glass hull if desired.
	The strip planked version. Once again a clean stringer free interior.
	Hull complete and work on the deck and cabin under way. This is 'Flash'
	'Flash again'. Cabin almost complete.
	This is one of the two quarter berths, which extend through the midsection to provide seating. Berth has a raising flap to provide extra width, which drops down to give optimum width for sitting.
	The space in the bow is devoted to a large storage shelf, with two small bench / locker units between the shelf and the berths. Note that on this one, one of the units has been omitted to make room for a porta-toilet. A bit tight on a boat this size, but it can be done. As an option, you can build a V berth into the bow instead of the two quarter berths.
	The main area is used for seating and eating when the crew are awake. Here the top of the C/B case has been fitted with a small drop leaf table. Note that the port berth is in the sitting mode, while the starboard is raised for the full width sleeping berth.
	Plenty of room for sitting, and good headroom. This is a very roomy little boat, compared to others of it's size.
