    Too many curves for my taste.:D :D :D I prefer straighter lines. It would be a boring world if we were all in agreement.:D

    Too true, but I prefer them long, lean and curvy!

    beautiful boat?

    I have a biased view but - how about this? Groucho Marx - 11x11 metre foil trimaran.

    I like your bias Gary, she is surely a beautiful fast vessel. Looks like a lot of fun too.

    Guillermo:
    Concerning your photo posted April 6, I've long wondered if it would make sense to take an old FRP lifeboat hull, ballast it 'til it's sunk pretty deep, add frames projecting upward beyond the gunwale, add stringers or some sort of furring for stand-off, and plank wood topsides overlapping the FRP gunwale to create a boat much like the one in the photo. I'll bet it could be done with about a third the labor of building such a boat from scratch, yes?

    BTW, what's the purpose of the bowsprit if the jib is flown from a separate pole?

    Stephen,
    Quite a bit of people around here have done that kind of lifeboat conversions, to make them look as traditional boats. Not bad results at all in some cases, but I still prefer the original thing.

    The bowsprit is to rig the jib when reaching, beating to winward or when in strong winds. They only rig the jib with the auxiliary pole when running in light airs.

    Cheers.

    Great picture, if it wasnt for the bow wave I would say it was a model.
