Not saying you should build. Just pointing out how little progress there really has been on boat construction the last 30 years. Design progress on the other hand have been immense.

Nice kitchen. If you did that, you can easily build a nice boat.

Beatings. You think your are tougher than the rest, eh? I think not. It is just ignorance on boat construction and sailing loads on your side. Reckless sailing will always kill a boat unless it is ridiculously overbuilt.

Dont know why I bother posting. Now bugging off again.
