Has anyone built either of these boats. I'm thinking of a smallish
boat that is easily trailable, shoal draft, and primarily daysailed in
the waters of tampa bay with occasional overnight for my wife and I.
The questions I have a

1. Is the cabin on Nancy's China of any use on a boat this small or is
it taking up space.

2. I've heard much about Nancy's China (and have Devlin's book) but
nobody has ever written about it's sailing ability or functionality.

3. I have the plans for the Core Sound 17 but really prefer a cabin to
store thing and when necessary, get out of the rain. Would a small
cabin on this boat be useful or am I'm I just wanting too much out of
a day sailer and should move up to a 12-20'boat?

Thanks for any comments.
