    I have an idea for a small 4m singlehanded keel boat similar in principle to the 2.4m class.
    I have roughed out a basic design 4m loa ,1m beam,1 m draft.
    bulb keel with 150kg. 100kg allowed for crew,if the skipper weighs less than 100kg then the remaining weight is added under the seat.
    total displ with crew 350kg.
    I have drawn a simple double chine hull in "hulls" that could easily be stitched and taped.
    The look of the boat is similar to current ACC class yachts.
    The rig is a high roached fully battened mainsail with a non overlaping jib set on boom like a model yacht.
    The keel is retractable to allow for easy trailering(unlike the 2.4)
    My question is to you think there would be a demand for such a yacht?It could be amatuer built for around 1/2 the cost of a new 2.4m.
    I have designed quite a few r/c models but this is my first full size yacht that I have considered taking further.
    Any comments welcome.
    cheers

    Is it a ballasted centerboard or a removable keel?
