    Is it possible to copy the info at a higher resolution and put them in your Photo album, Thomas?  This looks a much better cruising boat than Water Bear, which was delightful, but really a bit too skinny for living on.

    I hope you go ahead with building her!

    I have always love Paul Gartside's designs, I built my little sail'n oar based on his plans, and now I asked him to draw my next boat. He announced it in his last newsletter, it's a 9.5m twin keel cruiser.

    And now, he'll release another plan in the july edition of the Watercraft Magazine, a lighter 9.1m, an improved version of his old Water Bear.

    Good for the homebuilders !

    I am waiting keenly for the What If design to be published.  The online version of the magazine should be available on or soon after 25 June.  At 74, I have no plans to build a new boat (sadly) and will be lucky to convert my current boat in a year or so, when finances permit.  But the concept fascinates.  It will make a great Jester Challenge boat!
