    A simulated clinker tupperware launch hull that some one has "converted" into a Friendship or Hudson sloop?
    It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

    Hideous? I can easily imagine converting it back to a Motor Cruiser, with a larger raised house over the helm, and the bowsprit shortened to support an anchor. I believe I'll give the seller a call.

    Thanks for posting this.

    Not hideous but KFL. Redeemable, seems to be well built and shouldn't be hard to get looking right. Great price!

    Then it's not at issue, and we are saved from further discussion. I think it's a bit odd too. There's a lot of bibble in that design.
