I like boomkins. They are cute. And so is their name: we used to call ours the country bumkin, just to annoy my Dad.
I like swimsteps too, so I hope you keep this one ... but if you lose the swimstep, the compensation is that you'll add cuteness.
I love the rig. Excellent for a cruising boat. And engine centred makes for nice weight distribution.
However, I'm afraid there's not much else I like about the boat, apart from the hull shape: modest beam and a keel long enough to dry out on. The mastpit scares me, the foredeck looks too...
