Amphibicon

[ishmael]

Anyone here sailed one? I've been aboard one I was interested in purchasing, but the condition of the boat was such we never took her out.

It seems a pretty neat boat. Light displacement for the time. Shallow draft with the board up, and I could stand up under the coach roof because of the reverse sheer. She looks like she'd sail pretty well. Any experience?

I believe the MacNaughtons (www.macnaughtongroup.com) are big fans/mavens of the Amphibicon. Might be worth following up with them. Super nice folks.

I was going to point you to the recent Amphibicon thread in the Design/Plans section and then I saw that you started that thread.

Frank,

I was just soliciting sailing stories. The other thread was good, but I thought it would be good to hear some more, so I posted here.
