    I'm looking for simple (first-time builder here) plans for a small gaff-rigged boat with a jib attached to a bowsprit -- mainly because I love the look.

    The Weekender from Stevenson's Projects seems a bit too ambitious for me, and I don't really need a cabin -- something with a 6' cockpit for sleeping and a small cuddy for a cooler would be sufficient.

    I've searched through tons of plans and can't come up with anything that comes close, and I'm not confident enough to start whipping up my own plans (although I suppose adding a bowsprit wouldn't be too hard).

    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
