They certainly are a classic boat. I was checking out their page. They
actually have an "updated" cabin shape that I did not like as much as
the original, though! G

Having said that.......isn't there a danger there that while the rest
of the world has moved on, these guys are still espousing ferro cement
and traditional framed plywood construction? Stitch and glue is pretty
much the defacto standard for chine ply these days AFAICS, with
complete glass sheathing rather then the weight of frames.

Take a look at the Hartley Trailo\er Sailer
designe. I'm planning on the 18' one.
