  1. Hi Denis, I am in Cobourg, a couple of hundred metres from Lake O. The Belhaven caught my eye also, but I am not certain about the cabin profile. It may be just the semi 3/4 photo angle that makes it look a bit stout. I would like to see other photos. Regardless, my build may be postponed somewhat as I have some SWMBO projects to complete and a shoulder tendon to get repaired. I do like the Bolger and Welsford designs too but have not looked at Michalak's designs particularly. The current Small Boat Journal has an article where the author praises his Laguna so I might have to look more. Being an ex-dinghy and Kirby 25 sailor, I can't get excited about sssssslow boats. At the same time, I do not want to wear myself out. Contradictory objectives. ;-) Thanks, Paul
  2. Hi Rod, Thanks for your feedback. SK is getting the wintry stuff right now - brrrrrrrrrr. Karen and I drove through on our way to Edmonton to visit our daughters in late September. I was really impressed with Saskatoon, a lovely city. I am interested in hearing about your sailing experiences with Louisa Rosa. Where do you sail her? Lake Ontario is right down the street for me, plus I have Rice Lake and the Trent system 1/2 hour away. Thank you. Paul
  3. I miss sailing and am thinking that it may be time to add a performance dinghy/day-sailer/camp cruiser to my paddle boat collection. I have reviewed the many design reviews and keep coming back to the B&B designs, CS-15/17 or Lapwing although a cuddy appeals for camp cruising. I live in Cobourg, which is on Lake Ontario 100km east of Toronto. I am retired and will likely be sailing solo as my wife is not a water person although she will go canoe camping with me. I am looking for a reasonably stable hull that could still get out of its own way. Perhaps some Wednesday nights at the local club: has anyone had a handicap assigned? Are there any builders in my area who would be willing to share their thoughts/experiences? Thanks. P
  4. Having received a couple of unsubtle reminders regarding my lack of posting, and not considering myself a "lurker" I am attempting to upgrade my status. This will count as my FIRST post, I hope. Cheers, Paul in Cobourg
