Hi Rob

Ref captioned picture in article

As a botanistI was suprised to see they had the same mangroves in the
canals of Holland as they do in North coast NSW,

Looking forward to seeing fold out cockpit on Elementarry,

Robert

the thing that impressed me most was that this is a boat that is big,
simple, light and looks fast standing still(and very futuristic). It
doesn't have a huge amount of room inside for its waterline length; I
would say as much as a 36-38ft cruising bridgedeck cat or a 40-42ft
performance cat; but it should outperform the latter and be way
cheaper to build than either. It is better than a cat for forward
visibility and has a great "veranda"; the tramps are an integrated
part of your living/socialising space and could be fully enclosed
(perhaps using the boom for support) while at anchor for even more
living space. The leeward hull has a suprising amount of usable room
and would be perfect for accomodating older kids; it doesn't need to
be flared and this would add weight and alot of build time. I think
the end berth in the windward hull could easily contain 2 kids bunks.
The bridgedeck had just enough headroom for
> me (I'm 6'2") and comfortable seating for 4-5 around the settee.
Nav Table and electronics are protected and very accessible.

incredible for its simplicity. It has yet to be fully tested on the
visionarry and no doubt there will be teething problems, but its been
well thought out. The option of kite sails will add a bit of
excitement.
