This is a very elegant boat, will it be built?

Thank you. Sold only a few plans so far. I always thought that by now I would have at least a couple built.

I originally designed the boat for myself. Circumstances prevented to go ahead with her. Still good though. But I would go now for aluminum construction.

Another idea. As a fast "commuter" power boat. She is easily driven.

It looks elegant and nicely streamlined.

In the world where the energetic efficiency is becoming a must, you should really consider making a power version of her, imho.

See my comment just above. About a fast commuter version.

Steelstar took 1500 hrs to design. I recon that with the amount of work already done, the boat could be transformed into a powerboat without much problem. I would go for aluminum though.
