The Spencer designs really do it for me. Ragtime has always been a favorite, but that 40 footer looks so good too. Making a 4-panel hard chined boat look good is hard. If I wasn't into multihulls, I'd build a boat like that!

Russell just think of the time and money you would save building just one hull not multi hulls.
John Spencer built Infidel/Ragtime mainly on his own quite some feat but he had access to energy few have.
That long run of laminated/sprung floors added immense strength.

Yes, not pretty. Arguably fugly. But cool as a very cool thing.
Many echoes of the brilliant Fairey Atalanta from the 1950s. For most family uses, this is a much much better concept than the mass market white plastic boats.

Prepare for a cool boat barrage later in the week.

No doubt there be an anarchist or two attending.

Best wooden boat fest I've been to.

I know, and I keep seeing monohulls I could own.Russell just think of the time and money you would save building just one hull not multi hulls.
It's the lead part that I can't get my head around.
Also, I live somewhere where a slip is not available for people of my income level, so must be a trailerable boat for me and I'm damm sure not going to buy a monster truck to tow a keelboat around.

Ragtime is so cool. That, and New World, will never be equalled.

This 23' sloop, designed by Doug Hylan, appeared in the July/August 2022 WoodenBoat magazine. I have admired it often, since this issue is in the reading room.
Hylan describes it as a good fit for "wobbly old salts." I agree. I think an electric pod drive would be ideal. A fixed keel option would be interesting.

She is a cracker design Bull however you would need a slip or mooring both of which are scarce and increasingly expensive here in Auckland.

It looks to me as though her cockpit is not self-bailing. It's a drawback, but maybe fixable.
In the article, the reviewer says that she is trailerable.

I am a bit biased as I am presently building a F Vivier Morbic 12 and would reach for his Meaben.
