You need your eyes checked. Bruce King has never designed an
ugly boat in his life.


Perhaps not "ugly" but didn't King design the Ericson 39 flush deck in
the early 70's? I was always fond of it and it's fast for it's day, but
it's all-hull high freeboard design takes a bit of getting used to in
person.
Google it, Doug. I bet you were never aboard one of those either. The
one I sailed was fully restored by her owner, then he sold her and
decided to buy her back a year later at a much higher price.
