Honestly feel like this one is a tough sell at this price point tho, poor galley, and poor accommodations compared to more modern boats that cost the same or less.

Sadly ol George has passed on. His site is still up but I don't think Mrs Buehler is interested in selling plans any longer. George is probably best known for being the designer of the popular Diesel Ducks passage making power boats. Several are being built professionally in China and Turkey and since George sold plans to home builders several have been built by amateurs. George was quite a character and more than a little opinionated but he was a wealth of seafaring knowledge and a joy to trade emails with. RIP, George.

Love the videos. Keep them coming. Considering how your target audience is new sailors I thought you might like to clear some things up though. “Topsides” are the part of the hull BELOW the deck and above the waterline. No one says “going topsides” it isn’t a thing. The expression is going up on deck. “All hands on deck”comes from when the entire crew is needed “on deck” A deck is something you walk on. Not a topside. This video get it straight but a previous video you referred to the fiberglass bullworks as skuppers. The part of the deck that goes up on the sides for safety are called bullworks. Boats with fiberglass bullworks often have a teak toe rail on top of them. Skuppers are the holes that allow water to drain through the bullworks over the side. Also the drains in the cockpit are called skuppers. The drains in a dorade box are skuppers too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scupper When I first started sailing nearly 30 years ago, many captains preferred totally green crew so they could teach them the “right” way, as many skippers didn’t have formal education and did things wrong way for 20 years without ever being corrected. I think this might be the case with Captain Q. At first I thought it might be a New England thing, but now I believe it’s a Captain Q thing he probably got from his mentor.
