Doug Lord: 16' Raison d'etre daysailer preliminary sketch

Inspired by David Raisons Mini Transat winning scow. I thought I'd try to see what "his" thinking would look like at this length in a daysailer configuration. Lots of room! Uses a tunnel hull scow shape similar to the Melges 20 and others-reduces wetted surface quicker with heeling than does a flat hull. Could possibly uses a center "nacelle" like the old Prout catamarans. Here is the thread: http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/sailboats/new-14-16-daysailer-weekender-design-raison-detre-40561.html
