What is wrong or right with this boat?
Construction in WRC and expoxy. Eazy-rig by Rob Denney. Would like to power it with electric drives. The design work was done in TouchCAD3.5. Rendered in Artlantis. The bridge deck cabinette. Is perhaps too small to be used for anything? Does anybody use Visual FEA? Feedback please.

The version I am building is modified from this rendering. The bows are no longer plumb, the fore deck is curved down a bit (helped lose a lot of weight) , the bridge deck is shortened and there is a second tramp in back. Also going to dual helms to see better.
This one is intended for world, long distance cruising. It is the shortest boat I could design having what I wanted in it. Two more meters would make for nicer aft cabins and a bigger galley and below deck living area.
Will try to get around to posting some renderings of the current version.
