    I never did find out who designed her.. i do believe there were only 9 built though.. I have modified mine rather extensively.. they don't have any kind of cockpit from the factory.. there was a single seat right on the stern at the helm and it really sucked.. wasn't social at all.. also the companionway was off centre to the starboard side and that meant that when on watch you couldn't even see what was going on below.. and worst.. visa versa.
    Thanks.. i really enjoyed working on her.. was a blast.. of course you never recover your costs but i didn't care.. i wanted what i wanted.. I am very happy with the out come..
    Are you still looking to buy one?
    If so I can give some information as to the challenges i found.. I will tell you now that when i went to replace the chain plates (one had developed a crack) I found that a third of the bolts where broken.. I feel lucky!!

    Biography
    An erstwhile Physicist turned Tech systems architect, I have been on and off the water for most of my life, but have never lived The Life (tm). Time to do that, and I approach things from a madcap yet scientific vantage.. so my notions may sound insane, but its actually brainstorming :-)

    I have spent the better part of a decade looking at the math and practice of building boats and sailing boats, and still have a lot to learn!
