One similar boat that Bjorn has on his drawing board is 18.3' x 21" ...just a preliminary design; no name yet...

That was the design I was speaking of. It's still very preliminary so I didn't give many details. I'm not sure how much he wants us to talk about it.

For my kayak-ified Spray, without the 3D model I had to work off the 2D plans. I basically just added a kayak cockpit to the Spray/Spindrift lines. I only modified a few of the deck forms. If I had the model and the time I would smoothed out the sheer line and reshaped the deck at the cockpit. I didn't want to change too much and risk spoiling the excellent surf ski lines. In the end it came out quite well.

I really can't wait to see what his version end up looking like. Based only some of the early renderings he showed me it's going to be stunning. I'm definitely going to want to build one for myself. :)
