Hello all,
It is wintertime and my shop is not heated, so spend a lot of time surfing and dreaming.
First thought is to make a Spindrift 12 to row and sail around with my wife's 8' pram. I really really want a light small boat that I can put in and take out almost every single day to row for exercise. Nothing serious, just to move around a little (getting old, fat and lazy).
Later on I would make a CS 17 for sailing. or the CS 20 and mount an outboard as secondary...
Then sometimes I think maybe a CS 15. That would be a compromise to row and sail. Then wouldn't need to make the 17... But the CS 17 sails so fast and has water ballast....
I am dying to try a boat with ballast.
If I make the Spindrift, could a person put the mast on a tabernacle that was higher than a persons head when rowing? I envision rowing for fun, but if the wind was right I could also pivot up the mast and sail on the fly.
Heck. Any advice would be fine. Like I said just kicking ideas.
