It’s said that all boat designs are a compromise of this or that, one way or the other. But it’s hard for some of us to look at these boats and not see them as a wonderful blend of simplicity, function and efficiency.

Great to see how they build such a beautiful boat with simple means. I wonder if the expanded bottom provides lift. Installing a skeg would protect the propeller and rudder better.
