21', I'd say she'd be a top heavy. ;-) ...


Hmmm, I'm just guessing that's 21" (about half a meter). It's
certainly a little on the low side, but since this design is neither
super close winded nor super fast it is probably adequate if your
service is similar the Caribbean Charter trade. It wouldn't be my
first choice for a high lat, upwind passage. If you are serious about
the boat and intend to do something different with it I strongly
recommend you contact the designer and discuss your plans with him. A
couple hours of consultation fees could provide a lot of insight.
