I see Jordan Boats, for one, now provide kits for all sorts of designs. If Matt's smaller and/or older designs don't fit into Swallowboats' future Grand Plans (which I sort of understand), it would be good if kit-builds live on, for two reasons - first the huge satisfaction to be gained from kit-building for those of us not skilled enough for lofting, spiling* and suchlike: second because, as I think I may have just mentioned in passing before, I personally think the Trouper is such a little cracker.
Tony, you have possibly missed the small deliberate 'mistake' I made in my previous post, which would have enabled you to continue the banter. You're slipping.....? Incidentally, "I wrote it on my iPhone" is becoming a common excuse for various errors. I don't have said gadget. Can it not spell or do punctuation?

* The spell-check on my IMac tried to be very severe with me about spiling. We tussled, then - when I wouldn't back down, it offered me a list of about ten alternatives!
