: Your frame looks beautiful. Mature geometry. Or something like
: that. Like an aircraft fuse that doesn't have anything
: superfluous and doesn't lack for strength. Maybe someone can
: help me express my admiration better?

: Have you given any thought to sleeping aboard? I like to sleep in
: my boats, the aircraft style of construction makes that
: uncomfortable. Would a deck at the level of the lower frame tops
: be too high, metacenter-wise, for good stability? Herreshoff had
: a raised deck in his kayaks, one of them anyway, and still had
: good stability.

: The floorboards in the rec-boat I am skinning are below the frames,
: that's how I know how hard it will be to lie down comfortably.

: Beautiful boat

Thank you Michael,

Tom Yost designed a good looking double. I do have it skinned and loaded on the trailer to go to the Texas Boat Builder's Bash. I will post pictures of that event and the DoubleDarka launch there.

As for sleeping in the double I just would not fit, But the first thing my daughter did was wiggle down inside the hull and say Dad I could sleep in here:) Funny how that is.
