Got the plans today. Yep, it's not the boat for me. :-\ I guess for what we have available for sailing waters around here this boat is overkill. I am going to fall back to plan B and build the Goat Island skiff. It's not near as capable as the BRS 15, but it is able to sail, row and use a small outboard. Plus it would be easier and cheaper for me to build. Thanks for the info fellas.

I ordered the plans for this boat today. I thought about the CS models but we don't have much in the way of "blue water" in the desert so the BRS got the nod. Anyone who has ever built one or sailed one please chip in and give me a clue what I'm in for as far as performance and sailing ability. Detailed info would be nice. Stories on your adventures? This will be my first sailboat and I am a bit nervous about learning. Any advice/tips to the first time sailor would be great!
