Dave, I have just retired and am finally getting serious about building a small boat. I originally planned to build a Spindrift 11, but would really like something a little easier to get in and out of the back of my pickup truck by myself. Ideally whatever it is would be a good sailor with the ability to paddle (or row) when the wind dies. I expect to sail in the bays and harbors of Puget Sound, so I do not want to go in the water. I expect to sail alone. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Ty
