While I would love to draw for Annie a sweet little flat-bottomed traditional Chinese junk, I feel that it would be very difficult to clean the bottom when on the beach. In that respect, I've got on well with Tystie's hull form - a sort of curved 'V' below the chines, with a strong central keel that takes the pounding as she settles down in less than ideal conditions, after which she gently and obligingly rolls onto one side or the other so that I can scrub. When I was in northern waters, I relied on the Copperbot, but found it to be inadequate for tropical waters. Of course, my pivoted bilgeboards won't act as legs, but the daggerboard-style bilgeboards fitted to Malliemac can do just that, and they take up less room in the accommodation. Unlike a centreboard, they don't clog with mud.
Tystie has internal ballast, and a hull depth of about 2ft 9in, so a draught of 2ft should be achievable on a length of 26ft. However, I don't know whether sufficient stability can be obtained with internal ballast at this hull size, so it might be a good plan to incorporate some external ballast in the form of, say, a length of old railway track on the bottom of the keel, for its weight and strength.
I've also found Tystie's hull form to be sea-kindly, with no pounding and an easy and safe motion in heavy weather. I propose to see whether I can scale it down to 26ft, make it look more "Chinese", and raise the topsides for more internal volume. The construction would be double-diagonal wood on the bottom, with sheet plywood topsides and deck.
