sailboat design ideas

Nice boat Peter, but more than 1,5m draught unfortunately.

I don't think you are going to find what you are looking for. To get what you want you would need a boat that would be an undesirable set of compromises just to get the headroom and you would only have that headroom for a few feet along the length of the boat at it's deepest. It would probably need bilge keels to get the draft, or perhaps leeboards. Now there is a thought ...look to the Dutch...some of their designs might fit the bill...

None of them Steve,
but they are a perfect choice for these shallow waters! All the Aaks, Tjalks, Kotters, Botters have a house.

Gesundheit! And I hope you can pronounce them too... . Well...I tried.

Yeah, the ability to read is sometimes a great supporter when a serious answer is the goal.

Of course YOU like it. And if only to contradict me.

The thread opener though wanted something different. But you have proven several times today, you are not interested in others opinions or requirements. You want to spread your drivel.

I like the yago project .

that is the waterline not the bottom, but seriously; on calm water and budget a flatbottom sharpie with swing keel is doable
