One thing you may want to check on, if you haven't already, is your state's environmental regulations for such an operation. It will affect your...
Follow up: I ended up finding a 13 foot mono-hull sailboat (see attached). I bought it for about half the material cost it would have taken to...
I've redesigned the hulls based on your feedback and my research. I am shifting toward 10 feet. The pictures show the new features. I hope its...
I second that, in case you haven't seen it, look at The Glider offered at duckworksbbs.com.
