Never say never. With a 8-1 fineness you could have 2500 pounds in
that hull.
I think I asked about a cruising version of this type several years
back Rob, and as I remember, the drawing, which was rather nice, came
back with a 30 foot waterline and the berths stacked bunk style. The
WW hull was longer by a significant margin than the LW hull. Getting
this down to the size of a solo canoe will be an acheivement.
I can imagine wanting to build 4 small hulls as opposed to 2 larger
ones, if one takes into account things like LWL based tie-up fees.
But in general I would prefer to just build a larger boat like the
original Harry, that was cheap, light, and supposed to do everything
rather well.
Another variant of the Elemetarry has also been nagging at my mind. The "camper" version is Ok for two adults, but I am afraid that with two kids (OK, small -...
