    I took this picture during the Waterland Raid in the spring of 2015. You can clearly see the Venetian style rowlocks and the retro fitted dagger board case.

    For proper sleeping for two, you will need 125cm minimum at the shoulders (140 would be better). Near the feet, it can be a bit narrower.

    Not a Valk but the same system (and fittings it seems) for setting/striking the mast:

    I have sailed much with an outboard hung from the transom. If the transom is low enough and provides good access to the tiller not much of a problem in my opinion having it offset to one side...

    Yes correct.



    A tall tabernacle is needed for rowing but gives a lot of windage with the rig high up. Here in the Netherlands one typically needs to drop and raise the entire rig a couple of...

    Personally I would like to see sleeping onboard for 2.

    Family style trailer sailing also is very limited in the Netherlands nowadays. Most people daysail a Valk, only the hardy (or foolish) take out the boat for longer trips with a family onboard :-)

    The Farr 6000 is also a boat MIK showed to me. But it is a much larger boat in all respects.

    I must say that I like the looks and function of the Cherry 16 a lot. I agree that a bit leaner and...

    You definitely raise a point here. But a sleeping aboard on a small boat on an anchor will very quickly be uncomfortable if there is any wind/waves. Not sure whether anything can be done about this....

    A transom or double-ender makes much difference in displacement. A transom will mean a shorter boat for the same volume.

    Yes, I agree. It makes handling so much easier and removes the need for tabernacles, gates in mast partners, etc. Pricey but much worth the investment. After 10 years I recently changed my timber box...

    Yes, a mission profile needs to be determined for X-Boat. In any case it needs to be different from the Goat.

    I would think that the boat needs to be able to fulfil multiple purposes. A boat that...
