A student at the French Archaeological School in Athens is building my NUTMEG sailboat, Bolger's FEATHERWIND design with modifications,
He e-mailed me that he will require a certificate from a naval architect that the design is seaworthy in order to register the boat with the Greek CG. Does anyone have local knowledge of what is required?
In Argentina, a BIRDWATCHER builder who first built NUTMEG was confronted by a CG official who told him such a freak design could not be allowed. He only changed the bureaucrat's opinion by taking him sailing and deliberately capsizing the boat.
