Steven.

Yes that is the boat. Nice lines.

Any idea what it is?..

There is a day sailer on the cover of the Sept/Oct issue of Water Craft magazine, however it doesn't identify what it is. Is anyone able to identify this boat, name the designer etc. From the photo...

Tom..

Have a look at the Cape Henry 21 from Dudley Dix. I originally considered the Penquin, however the Cape Henry will give you more interior room and open space. www.dixdesign.com/ch21.htm

The plan price is not the issue, more importantly to me is the quality and completeness of the designs and the relationship/support offered by the designer.

In my quest...
