Avocet is the latest AOD to be launched, June 2022. A further AOD (No.25 is under construction).

At the 2010 River Race Dinner, with all seven owners present, the AOD constitution was agreed and the Axe One Design Class Association established.

At the same time a new AOD specification was agreed, which incorporated the rules of 1959, forming a much more comprehensive set of class rules to safe guard the AOD. (Current Spec Version 5. June 2021)  Also, Peter Williams lofted a set of moulds from No.1 and is in the process of drawing a set of plans to compliment the specification.
