Sweet little boat, Paul. Glad you shared the photos.   

Reminds me of the Peep Hen design.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  -Mark Twain

Inspired by Matt, but self designed.  It does have the chine runners of the Paradox.

Paul - just went through the whole 5 pages of imagery - she is looking great! A couple of Q's:

1 - Will you have ports in the doghouse? I imagine that would be a necessity, or surely a luxury, to not have to poke ones head out into the Great Lakes night air to make sure you weren't dragging anchor. ;)

2 - Outboard - will the controls be within reach of the cockpit, or are you going to wrangle up some sort of remotes?

Very interested to find out how she sails. The chine runner designs are very intriguing to me.

Sven would approve, I bet! :) He hasn't updated in quite a while, hope he is still doing OK...

Cool job. keep us posted. I,too, am quite intrigued by the chine runners and Matt Laydens designs. And yes, I did encounter them via a book by Sven (Yrvind)a few years ago,

The cabinhouse will have ports.  I need a couple more coats of paint on it before I can install them. 

I have an old 2 stroke motor and I am hoping that I can control the choke and pull start the motor standing in the hatch opening.  I will also make a switch to ground out the spark.  So I hope it will be remotely operated.

Weather has slowed me down, not much progress lately.

Got the halyards fitted in.  Anybody know how to make some simple jam cleats?

Cool!

It looks like it is coming along well.

Years ago, I had an idea to make a small single-handed trimaran with fresh water ballast that I could pump back and forth from one side to the other. That would allow more sail area, and also store the drinking water supply.

Never got around to it though.

Keep up the good work and the posts!
