Re: Elementarry micro-cruiser


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.
