My new obsession
 

http://smaalders.net/yacht_design/simplicity%2035.html

Extreme shoal draft, necessary for me.
Gaff rig enables mast to be lowered to get under bridges to go way up
rivers during hurricane season.
The designer has also added a pilothouse to the design for me and
increased engine size to 35 hp as I want her as a motor sailer.
Will be the biggest I have ever (or ever will) built. I have built 4
other smaller boats but this is a serious project. Saving money is
not the issue here as I know it will actually cost more than buying.
However, I will get exactly what I want.
So, for the next three years, I will not own a decent pair of pants,
all of them will have epoxy on them.

My new obsession

Sure like the looks of her, and hope you'll take and post lots of pictures!
