Next step then:
I am thinking in terms of ww hull 2 sheets of ply long (just under 16 feet) and
lw hull 3 sheets of ply long (just under 24 feet) - no rocker on either.
Single mast as mostly single-handed - rotating - fixed booms extending in
opposite directions so that I can experiment with different rigs, marconi, lug,
junk, square, easy.
Width 2.5 metres for towing - narrow but ww hull would be heavier than
Elementarry which should compensate to some extent.
Slim hulls with adequate displacement achieved by deeper rather than wider.
Still sounding alright?
