: I paddled Bobby Curtis's Sea Spirit several times and like the humerously low
: volume and fit in fine. Contrary what Ross found on this thread, the Sea
: Spirit sits solid in the water with plenty of initial stability and
: doesn't teter from side to side like a lot of hard chine designs, yet has
: plenty of speed. I'll build the hull stock to plans. by the way if you go
: to the Newfound gathering, they'll be a new one built by Dick Gamble -
: really beautiful and I believe Bobby Curtis will be there with his two as
: well.

So, how large can you be and still fit in the Sea Spirit?

: Not trying to sell anything, just stating the facts.

Ummm...Jay, I think Nick is trying to avoid commercial posters "thumping their own chests". I don't think you're going to cause problems by promoting someone else's design!!!

Happy building!

Shawn
