He agreed to design it but is very busy right now, not only working on his big cat but putting the finishing touches on my SB18. If he doesn't design it, I will. I sketched such a design 2 years ago and really ...

It will be stitch and glue. That limits somewhat the shape but it will be much easier to build. I want to design a good looking but EASY to build boat. Many thanks for your replies.

Maybe you remember my interest about the water ballast Adelie. Could you elaborate a little on those first ideas ? I. e. the ballast tanks shoul...
