Is anyone building?  We need pictures---lots and lots of pictures.  Inside, outside, topside, underside.  I'm especially devoted to the Princess, but any of them.  Pictures.  If you've launched and are among the lucky to be sailing, pictures, pictures, pictures!!!

I'm not sure this counts on the B&B forum but at least it's in real time - about half an hour ago- and it's based on some design features of my CS17.

I recently posted on a capsize test on the CS17 http://www.messing-about.com/forums/index.php?topic=7108.0 and was impressed by the effectiveness of the buoyancy chambers at minimising the water load in the boat after righting.

Some years ago I built a Welsford Golden Bay dinghy which is a nice simple little sailing boat with buoyancy in the bow and stern but none along the sides. In a capsize it comes up with a huge volume of water making it extremely unstable and getting back into the boat impossible. I've been reluctant to let novices sail it. post-0-129497639507_thumb.jpg
