nice lines! looks like it could be a much larger boat in some of the video.

Very nice looking boat. Just wondering why 17 ft? Is it a class size or because of the space you had to build it in?

[@27floater14]

I didn't build the boat. She's a Sam Devlin design that I dreamed of building, but have yet to start. This video is a result of research I did on the boat and it's build, meant to inspire me to chase the dream. Life and health got in the way.

Nice looking boat. Its the bigger sister to Nancy's China. My critique; I don't like how the sail looks. It has a "girt." A crease in it. It should be smoothed out to increase the effiency.

[@27floater14]

If only you were sailing her. Girt.

mmd is a Goaler

What did you have to take into account when you made her a cutter?

[@27floater14]

I haven't built the boat. Particulars are in the credits at the end of the video.
