Grabbed this from FB and damn, it reminds of us an old Studebaker or something similar that has not stood well under the harsh glare of time. It musta seemed pretty avant-garde at the time, but now? Oh boy!

"I was speeding south on ninety-nine when the manifold started smokin'
I ran her off the shoulder and now the axle's broken
It made a sound that cracked my heart in half and with only half a half pint of vodka left"

Ummm... speak for yourself.

It's freaking cool, but it looks like two sunfish rear ended a J/24.

Makes a J24 look comfy too

A more civilized cruising version existed, looking rather good, excellent seakeepers, these Blue Dane 32.

May I remind you that today is no better:

It might have better cockpit ergonomics than Elvstrom's Bianca 414

 

[WorstPitManEver]

My knees hurt just looking at those cockpits...

Owned this '53 Potato Bug for a while. Drove it Seattle to SF on the coast road few times. $300 well spent. Very reliable ride.

In the line drawing in the upper right, is that really the head all that way aft?

A civilized legs in design. Nice.

How do you drain those cockpit pits ?
Gotta have bilge pumps on each side
Or connecting duct between them, then the water is always on the low side.

Saw it yesterday (twice durned facebook) but each time missed the deck profile. Guess I was not looking hard enough.

Or like any closed cockpit above the waterline just well placed scuppers that drain to a through hole that is lower than the floor?
