Mike;

Of course you are correct, that's why the highways are not plugged with these things. As drawn the folded up keel to keel height is 13'. With some thought I could take a foot off this.

If the cabin was a little narrower and the pilothouse folded down. The upper two ends could drop right down onto the gunwale, she would be covered, aerodynamic, and low.

On length, I have an idea the shorter modules will be much easier to launch.

I also have ideas of keeping the 70 footer in my 30' slip!

Thanks for your thoughts.

Tad
