I'd love to hear any comments that NWCBC members might have regarding three new, vintage-style boat designs we're offering to build for customers. (I'm really not trying to advertise or promote the designs here--just seeking input as we refine the designs and move forward.)
One of the three is an 18-foot motorsailer designed early this year by my friend Sam Devlin. I designed the two powerboats, and I'm especially interested to hear what members might like to see tweaked in the Mystery Bay 21 cruiser design. (For instance, would you like to see a slightly larger version of the boat?) Right now, it has an enclosed wheelhouse with hardtop that basically just has seating for two, with typical V-berth under the forward raised deck, room for a porta-potty and small galley. In other words, just about the same accommodations many of us are used to in our vintage 20- or 21-foot glassic cruisers. The idea was to come up with a 1920s-style raised-deck cruiser that would be easy to trailer, launch and retrieve, and store in a garage or under a portable shelter...powered by a fuel-efficient and quiet four-stroke outboard. Speeds could be anywhere from displacement-hull speeds to full-blown planing performance, depending on outboard selection.)
Take a look at the home page, but be sure to click on the "New Construction" heading for details.

It looks to be perfect for our NW waters. Will it have space for a "Porta-Poty" ? I know with out a head it would be a deal breaker with the Admiral. IF you had to streach it a foot or two that would be OK.
a stud would marry her for her boats. Oops. I meant for her loving, beautiful self!
