I'm pointing at it, nice, smooth and sleek yet round and firm.

I must be looking at the wrong pic, all I see is you and a
boat.

Sweet huh? Have you even seen sexier curves?
Capt. Nemo would shutter in delight if he ever spied her fine lines.

I like the hull. Joe is right, there are not many steel
boats shaped like that.

Don't take this personally, but yes.

Umm, Joe... he liked submarines.

Yeah.... because they provide an excellent view of boat bottoms. Duhhh

No way, to funky...no board

Well maybe, it's hard to see the hull, but his boats are indeed
graceful

We had one here in the yard, going up to the chesepeke..Day
sailor...diffrent world..

Not even close. It's a toy...

Well she's a giant, Fragile brute force, too easy to snap.

And of course, this hull has lines that are both seductive &
practical:

How much weight should she carry? With such a high freeboard I'd guess
800 lbs.

Doesn't need one. This boat sails to windward well enough to
win races without a 'board.

Of course, to my mind, that suggests that she could have a
shallower keel and a centerboard and be better yet. But the
man who commissioned the design felt differently and
'Ticonderoga' is classic beauty recognized anywhere.

Ironically, L.F. Herreshoff did not feel she was one of his
bestter designs.

All sailboats in this day & time are toys, except for 3rd
world fishing boats which often have bluer tarp sails. If
you disagree, please give some examples of working craft
that ply their trade and earn a living for their owners
regularly under sail. I'd love to see them.

Stronger than steel. And still beautiful IMHO

That would put her down to about 10 ~ 11" of freeboard. In
reasonably calm weather, I'd carry that much in her.

A naval architect friend who critiqued my first few versions
of this hull said "My God, are you planning to row a
Mini-Cooper in from anchorage?" Reserve bouyancy is one of
those things where more is better ;) The amazing thing is
that she still has quite graceful lines and a metacentric
height which is very close to the same as a flat-botton pram
or inflatable. I'm eager to see what her hull will weigh
when I finish the lay-up.

I hate to give you bad news, Joe.

They don't make a living under sail any more, Joe. There are
certain days during the season where they are allowed to use
the pushboats and that's what they all do.

Skipjacks are certainly an example of classic working craft,
but they're also an example of how sail propulsion just
isn't economically viable in the developed world, even in
very specialized trades with legal protection.

Yes, but she wouldn't let me take pictures.
