Long Steps Overview

At 5.8 meters (19'2") long, the Longsteps is the latest in expedition cruisers.
Featuring lug sail, yawl, drop-keel and water ballast, the Longsteps has excellent sailing options in all sorts of conditions.
Pumping up the design is a focus on a rowing. Oar length matches storage area, the seat/footrest combo is adjustable and the competition grade rowlocks ensure that any rower gets along briskly.
Does it have the best cockpit / cuddy / storage combination in open adventure boats ?

I have a Tread Lightly, 4.0 meters long, that I bought from her builder last summer, and it's amazing to see what JW has done in a hull that's less than two meters longer! I =love= this design. Thanks, Hugo, for making and sharing this video!

Both great boats... we are fortunate to have choice....

I watched both videos Hugo, it would be nice to have an idea of the finished dry weight of Long Steps with sail rig. It appears to be light. I'm wanting to compare it to the Core Sound 20 mark 3.
