Bif Fat Egg - Raven 22...

[Sean Herron]

Well...

It looks like I can stuff a six foot man into a 22 foot egg...

I suppose the question is why - and I don't have an answer for you on that one...

I currently own an O'day 22 - and I like the length and the moorage costs...

So now I just need to stuff my six foot frame into a more appropriately sized egg...

Some other old doodles - and they are only that - are in my gallery - I am finally getting off my duff and finishing the shells - I want to use this boat as a project towards becoming proficient with Rhino 3D...

The dead straight sheer is intentional ...

So what do you informed folks think of my big fat egg - I can take it...

Standing headroom in a 22 foot boat could end up looking and weighing a lot like a Pacific Seacraft Flicka or Dana before it sails well. You would have nearly 5 feet abive the water if you build such a boat according to common leightweight methods.

Now don't give up, I like small boats too. What about some kind of genuine pop-top. A more conventional cab like a Herreshoof design could easily hold a pop-top design and be waterproof as well. Or a tilting cabin top on your design - crank the back up 2 feet and get a nice chandellier to improve the ambiance. Twin keels could be an advantage as well to cut draft and improve interior space. And please make the bunks 6'6" so we can bring out tall friends.
