  1. I am thinking of doing a correspondence course on small boat design. Which courses can be recommended? In my (limited) Internet research on available courses I have come across MacNaughton Yacht Design School, and the Landing School's course. There are others (Westlawn, Southampton Inst and University), but they seem to focus more on ships and/or large power yachts. I am interested in small (e.g. less than 50 feet) sailing boats. Your thoughts on small boat design courses will be appreciated. Thanks. Andrew
  2. Thanks for the replies. If there's not much difference in righting them then I will go for the CS17. I am satisfied now. I also looked at some of the other posts on this forum about capsizing and righting these boats. They seem to be safe enough. Thanks.
  3. I own plans for the CS17 (have had them for years) and want to start building soon. Before I commit myself to this project I want to satisfy myself of one thing: Can one person, sailing singlehanded, right the CS17 after a capsize? I will sometimes be sailing in open waters. I live in Cape Town, South Africa, and the wind can get quite strong here. I just want to know that I will be able to get the boat upright again (by myself) if knocked down. If there is any doubt I should rather build the CS15. Thank you. Andrew
