Cape Cod Bullseye
 

I think you should consider buying it!

Thanks Doug. I briefly did consider it, but I am afraid it wouldn't
work for me.

Me neither, unfortunately. As Peter noted, they are a bit pricey...

... I have been toying with the idea of getting a smallish
16-18' one design to sail in the evenings at a relatively small and
shallow (in places) lake much closer to me. Most boats are kept in
davits with a few on moorings. Flying Scotts seem to be the most
popular, followed by Harpoons, Rebels and M16 Scows. I used to sail
on this lake in my first boat, a Melges MC Scow and I guess I have
been fondly recalling the days of less work and expense and more
sailing:)

Smaller boats are definitely more fun and less trouble.

But if you park any Herreshoff next to a Flying Scot, you'll find it
hard to give any consideration to the Scot. The Highlander is a much
nicer & more handsome boat, much faster too. Smaller class, though... go
figure. The Harpoons are coool and from what I've seen very well built.
IIRC this is an S&S design. Rebels, no thanks.

What I'd like to see is something like a 505, only not so dependent on
the trap and with an A-sail. I've been thinking that there are a lot of
old 470s around that could for minimal cost be refitted with square-top
mains and A-sails.


That Bullseye was a sweet looking boat, though:)

Yes it is. Makes you wonder how anybody could compare it to a dough dish.

Ever seen an S-boat? Now there's a beauty!!
