    I am interested in starting a project that would take a fresh look at the planing hull motor sailer. I have read many threads regarding the Macgregor 26, and similar designs, and believe there is an opportunity to bring an updated design to market.

    What would be the best way in going about finding a Naval architect/engineer to help with this project?
