It's been forever since I last posted. So here's an update.

After a year of talking back and forth with my prospective design "client" (a buddy who thought he wanted a light-weight boat for fly-fishing), I've finally convinced him to use a boat and trailer he already has, namely, a Salt Bay, which makes a decent single. At this year's Family Boat Build, someone else approached me about drawing him a boat. But since he failed to get back to me in a timely manner, I now have no one to please but myself.

I found this year's FBB hugely inspiring. I liked its compactness and it's quietness. No crowds of people asking the same questions. No obnoxious band. Just seven families working on their boats without needing much direction, which gave me a chance to think about what features I like to have in my own boats.
