Launched in September 2025, the boat evolved rapidly and is in its fourth (and final) public version. The three latest versions are available as kits as each has its appeal. To understand the key differences between the Proteus versions, check the blog post in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Articles - SailorMadeRC\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003earticles\u003c\/a\u003e section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a growing fleet, the Proteus has demonstrated its modern lines are very competitive, both in national and international events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Proteus concept, in line with the Alioth, seeks to make competitive IOM boats accessible to the home builder at a fraction of the cost (and time) of fibreglass yachts. Using standard 3D printing techniques (instead of the advanced vase mode used by the Alioth) allows the Proteus to incorporate much of the internal components in the hull printing process. This leads to an easier build, with fewer components and simpler steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur complete build kits and step-by-step guides make building a competitive boat achievable even to the novice builder. Total build time should be around one week with a few hours per night, or two full weekends. Check out our detailed build guide for more details.
