As mentioned in other threads I am preparing next build by sawing thimber for a lapstrake build, and hope to start lofting this year. I primarly look at Gartside designs for a trailable sailer, and I have the plans for Lugger 6m. I have decided I want a gaff rigged sloop instead of a lugger, and e-mailed with Gartside about building either "6m Lugger" or "Sjogin III" (19ft double ended sloop) with traditional lapstrake, and he like the idea. I have now been looking at #225 "Ditch Witch". One foot shorter an a bit narrower willl suit my workshop better, and I like this design also
Anyone else considered this, or even startet building it? I guess its just as seaworthy as the slightly larger "SjoginIII" or "Lugger 6M"#166 agree? (For coastal cruising and daysaling)
