Dave,
I always admired your design, and your book on less than $12,000 pocket cruiser for backyard builder is a joy to read.
It still after all these years a great pleasure to go through the pages.
I wounder if your Doubloon was built. She is a very nice and well put together little cruiser.
Do you still designing? I hope you have the time.
Lister

Glad you liked the book. Doubloon was one of those designs that sold a lot of plans, but I don't know of any boats that were built. Westlawn takes up most of my time these days. Still, my office does about one project a year. Looks like we'll be starting on a 90-ft. motoryacht for a client on the west coast.
