    Quick Update

    I had a bit of a wobble, worried I was designing an unsailable, crash prone boat. I am too old for spending too much time swimming in icy Cumbrian lakes.

    Did another redesign to hopefully make it slightly easier too sail.

    Bought some parts and trying out construction ideas. All held together with tape nothing welded at the moment. Foam sheets to give idea of hull form.

    Thanks again Doug and John for helpfull replies.
