Qualifications: 15 to 18 ft, one person sailor, lake sailing in Pacific Northwest, most materials locally purchased, designed for speed, ease, and budget(2000.00+ to start). A beginner home build for a novice wood worker and a beginning sailor. Question: 1.What model boat, currently in production, would provide for a good template for this build? 2.What advanced details of design must be mastered in order to put forth the best effort. 3. Is it possible to do this build in wood, hulls specifically?

Go buy yourself an used H16 and go sailing instead of spending a crazy number of hours not sailing smile

I know, I know, the journey is more important than the destination...

I agree with pepin. That said,I love to build boats .I built my first Unicorn (single man,tortured ply method cat)
in the early 70's and have not stopped building since. Be prepared to spend alot of time, a cost analysis will probably show it is not cost effective,but the satisfaction is worth it.

"Speed ease and budget" make that elusive triangle where you may have two but not three of your design criteria.
