Default Now here is a pretty steel boat

http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi..._boats=1312127

The Dutch have a long tradition of building sweet curves into steel
hulls, and this is a good example. They also have a tradition of
building burdensome, shallow, bluff-bowed boats but this is isn't one
like that!

Kinda plain Doug

Here is a hull with sweet curves, lots of room and solid as steel.

You're just "jelious" that you're boat isn't as nice.

"solid as steel"??? I thought your boat *was* steel?

The hull & rig look nice but the deckhouse is a bit too high & boxy.

Maybe your eye patch needs cleaning?

exactly.

Why thank you, full keel with board. 4.5 to 11 ft draft. The rig is
overbuilt steps to the tops of each mast, my inner fore stay is removed
in this photo. The bow reminds me of a clipper and the stern is a wide
hourglass takes the waves with ease fore or aft.

The high deckhouse allows for a very roomy engine room and sail
lockers. The high cabins allow a 6"6 overhead and serious tankage, all
in cradles and hull tanks. I like a flush deck boat but they all look
goofie under 62 foot and do not have the needed room below to cruise
and have 2 people liveaboard in comfort IMO.

Was your boat designed by Glen-L?

Not sure Gilligan. Who is Glen L?

I've been searching for the builder and designer since I found her.
