This is a real boat, unlike some of the other freeform sketches I have made, and a very succeessful design it seems. Many of these are being built all over the world by amateurs and professionals alike. In fact I have currently one under construction, scheduled to be done in April or May 2007, and this specimen will be for sale sometime next summer.

A classic boat of immense seaworthiness and dazzling good looks, that can take you anywhere in comfort and safety. That was the parameters for this spin of my imagination. And I think I succeeded to some extent, since just looking at her makes me want to fill the stores with provisions and head off to Greenland or the Aleutians for a couple of years.



This little cutter, of maybe 21', would be ideal for some serious coastal cruising. A few months up and down the coast of some eastern Canadian Provinces comes to mind. The sketch, and it is merely that, came to after reading about about a certain british workboat of the late 1800's.
