Very nice looking!
At the moment, the main hatch looks like it doesn't comply with the Offshore Special Regs:

does the port mainsheet not appear to foul the port genoa winch (or be very close, maybe too close, to it?)

We will list the prices for everything so you can add as you like.
The standard boat is:
A hull, with furniture and an engine.
Tiller as standard.
All deck hardware.
Carbon mast and prodder.
Running rigging.
bob, loco,
i think you should consider a transom hung rudder. or even dual. only negative would be the issue of cavitation, but you could probabaly add a leading edge tab that fits under the hull, like on the Farr 11s, to solve that problem. substantially cheaper, simpler, and therfore ultimately more reliable (if spec'ed and built right). also provides an easy way to remove the rudder and simplify boat transport (assuming the keel is equally easy to remove). and 2 rudders gives you comfort with redndancy.

No discussions with Bob, no iterations, no input from the Anarchists? Take it or leave it attitude? Has Bob been gagged? Does not sound like the deal with the FT10 - this forum is becoming quite disappointing.

quick thoughts:
Stop the toe rail at the mast or chain plates. There is need need for the crew to sit on it while going up wind
make sure the hatch opens forward not aft toward the mast, this will help help the boat dry below decks
Try to make the mainsheet travel below decks this will help keep the deck clear (i.e. Farr 40), when it lays on the deck people always sit on it downwind
Ditch the hand rail on the cabin house (that will kill the crew's knees)

FT10m spawns the 7.5m, which in turn begins the 13.8m, and now we all anxiously await the lines for the FT34.7m. I have heard rumors that Bob and DA MAN are one-upping JuanK and Speedboat.
Since Bob has now referred to the 34.7 here on the internet, it must be true.
Will there be an owner-driver rule for this new OD class?

GEE BOB, DO YOU THINK IT IS ABOUT TIME TO SHOW THEM THE 34.7? WHAT'VE WE GOT TO LOSE? HUMMER AND GROUP MIGHT BE HAPPY WITH A COUPLE $1,000. DEPOSITS FOR HULL NUMBERS.
