I am a bit reluctant to draw up plans for bigger boats because they don't seem to sell as well. But ... maybe something with the same function as Dylan's Volksboat ... I love his line about it being dreamt up by "a socialist newspaper".

Maybe I need a sponsor ... are there any good socialist newspapers left?! Maybe the Wall Street Journal will be looking for a different editorial byline ..."Tough day at the Merchant Bank, Dear, I've seen something in the paper ..."?

Mik,

I can certainly understand your commercial reluctance, but if you don't get cracking, you might force me to actually own a boat that is not one of your inspirations. So far, I have: GIS; standard PDR w/OZ style rig & foils. I've been thinking that the next boat will be cruising-capable w/small cabin including a bunk, cooking flat, and room for bucket/porta pottie. Am of two minds whether she'll be a motor-sailor or motor only.
