Build the Storm 17. It's better looking than the other two.

Thanks for the link. I like the Toppit 12 and look forward to seeing the 14 model.

Didn't mmd, have something to do with the redeveloped Norseboat?

You know, I have to agree. They started out rough but have been refined nicely. Do they sell just plans or is it kit-only?

[Dave Gray]

Looks like the only one that is not a kit is Tirrik.

Of the three, I'm partial to Tirrik. You can buy plans instead of a kit, and there are several Oughtred forums if you run into questions during the build. I mostly sail single-handed, and for that reason like the single balanced lug rig on Tirrik. To me, it seems easier to set up and manage compared to the sloop on Norseboat or the ketch on Storm.
