    Default Lyle Hess cutter

    The website hasn't been updated fro a while but Steve Brouwer is a good builder in the Pac NW: http://hunterbaywoodworking.com/lyle...ull&news_id=45

    I wonder if the boat has a sister ship(s), or if it is a subtly different one-off design:

    She is being built to the standard 32' Hess plans, I believe there are a few of these out sailing. And every wooden boat is "subtly" (and not so subtly) different depending on the builder and materials used. If completed by Steve this one will be considerably better built than most..........If an owner was to jump in now he or she could get exactly what they want, pilot house, schooner rig, whatever.......
