Looks like a steel hull.
We had one rigged the same way here the other day, but it had no stays



I had thought it was an old ketch-cat Freedom from the late 70's, but I
didn't bother to look it up. Maybe someone can ID it?

No, close but thats not it IMO. Rudder layout is different as well as
the cabin.
Also the stern cabin is more Vagabondish.
Nice boat.

Yelp, pretty cool.
I bet it's lighter than Doug's carbon fibre dink, and just as strong.
And cost half as much, and could be buildt in 1/4 of the time.
And will last 3 times as long.
And looks just as good.
And carries more.

Doug all ready said it's heavier than he predicted. I bet it's up to
double what he estimated it would weigh.

Doug is using tent pegs and 1" double braid to
hold it down so he can finish working on it.

Agreed

Not even close. 2-3 times heavier than Dougs dink.

Possibly.

Probably.

Maybe better--we shall see.

I don't think so.
