... the elusive Wayne B up

After looking at the design again for a while trying figure out how to
set the skegs so they would work, not cut in turning, and not look ugly,
not get sucked into muddy beaches etc... I decided to eliminate the flat
trailing ends of the lifting strakes and make them act more like skegs
for linear stability... Here is "Tri Hull Version 3"!

This is faired and ready to go hopefully no more major changes...

Hadn't realized that I was elusive. :-)

The plans look good to me but of course I don't have to build it.
There's one comment that's not clear to me: "Whaler Clone Version 3
is a 7 plank hull." Perhaps in error, I had assumed it was going to
be stitch and glue construction with plywood panels. To me a plank
hull is something other than that but possibly my understanding is
incorrect.
