Hi Ian - the Apple's very nice, especially the balanced lug version. And I like transoms - but I think it's a wee bit short for me.
You see, I'd thought about a Wayfarer now my boys are at an age where they
need to learn how to hand, reef and steer, and after years in boats of ~14' I think it's time to stretch my legs a bit more. There's also stuff online about some serious sailing/cruising in the CY, which is well worth checking out.
need - this is non-negotiable!
Andy, there'll be no yawl rig for the Dreadnought, unless it's on the boats, but my next model
will have a square sail. I'm saying no more.
8' foot barge? Now you're talking! Slightly larger mini-barge races (with a single sailor) could be a laugh. What's the likely spec on displacement, beam, etc., and I'm presuming you'd have to go for a fin-and-bulb?
Oooo. Ideas!
