In Response To: Seeking: A Boat design for My Daughter (Rick Sylvia)

Thank you, everyone, for all the tips. She and I will be looking at a lot of photos and reading specs on the web. Don't yet know where we'll end up, but we'll end up there "together" and that's the main thing.

Oh, the idea of a S&G drew somewhat of a "disinterested" stare, and the explanation of a SOF resulted in a "have you lost your mind" comment from my wife and other daughter (and a laugh from my 13 year old).

In the infamous words from Ricky to Lucy - I got some 'splainin to do. She's listening, but not yet convicned that S&G and SOF boats are seaworthy, and she's VERY intreested in stripping a design into a deck. The samples she drew up are scary - as in "how in the world are we going to strip THAT into a deck!"

When we begin the project, I'll be keeping you up to date on progress. Meanwile, work on the Outer Island continues.

Rick
