Always look to the past for good answers to modern questions.  Cold molding produces sophisticated results if you have the patience.  If you and your dad can build a boat like that, then why not design and build the design what you want (or a copy) in cold molded plywood/glass?  If the hull shape is spot on, the weight penalty you pay for using traditional materials won't really matter.  Just add more sail (whats above the deck is where newer technologies to have the most edge).  Plus you can fix/modify the thing yourself.  And you'll have a timeless on-off and stories to talk about for the rest of your years.
if everything goes as planned-ill be building 32footer, but i need to consider other options, because shits goin down the drain here and fast....really fucking fast...

A location where you want to use it would help. River , lake, Sea or Ocean, Fresh or salt water, coldness of the water you go out on? Trailer boat or a morring storage  most of the time? Dock or morring bouy?
River , lake, Sea or Ocean, Fresh and salt water

no lower than 10 degrees celsius?

i wonder- why no-one of major manufacturers doesn't go for projects like Natali 850, its 28ft, has standing headroom(190cm at galley and 182 at forward cabin), can plane and its possible to fit shower in it and it can be comfortable, i ve seen several boats completed by men at some russian forum

https://homeverf.yakutia.ru/n850/index.html

they also have daggerboard keel option

Makes me wonder why you ask the question when you know the answer.

Take that one, than.

Dash 34.  Move the head from the v-berth to the aft quarter, and put a shower in it - I did this in mine without the shower, but it was certainly possible.  You won't be able to stand up inside further forward than mid-cabin though.

You can get one sub-20K.
Thats a cool boat, thanks!

can you name at least 3 consumer grade sailboats that can do 35knots?
No one can. The only one is the Mac with the big engine. Under sail, though, it' a 4kSB. Was that a serious question?

This is something you actually have to offer the group. Please go over to Political Anarchy and tell us about Russia from the insider's viewpoint.

What happened to the thread(s) with the Sputnik 15?

That was a cool little boat, appeared to sail really well and as comfy as you're going to get in that size range

Mac26X.   Doesn't come stock with a shower but supposedly some owners have modified the head to include a shower.

It's not often a boat hits so many of a buyers requirements.
Dont forget its the only boat in history to attain 4th mode
