Hey JOe
I finally took a look at your lines.
Looks like ya got yourslf a modified gaff rigged Texas Scow Scooner.
Why the gaff rig? Because ya got a shallow draft boat with a drop
center board....... ?

1) why ya going with something so shallow. That rig wont point worth
****.

2) I emagin that center board aint worth much since your container is
sitting right on top of the CB trunk.

3) Most those "traditional working sail" designs have huge "barn door"
rudders but yours looks like a corn flake. Do you plan on just
motoring. I cant see how that litte rudder will be much use. But with
all those sails Id hope you could trim it to sail straght.

4) are you going for a media look to impress those who are not
familure with turn of the century working sail designs. Please dont
tell me your going to be in "undevelped harbors" seeking your coffee
and there for need a shallow draft center board. Why not use twin
LEEBOARDS? Or better yet, get an old gulf shrimper and stick a flag
pose in the middle of it and call it a sailboat.............

Howard I Cappell would roll over in his grave if he saw that *******
design..........

Good luck
Bob
