Re: Seen this??
Well, it seems like an interesting boat, but I don't think it ever made it to production between now and the web page you referenced.
That said, I think the performance and towability estimates were a bit optimistic. No idea of what the below-deck layout might have been.

The key to inner peace is to admit you have a problem and leave it at that.

Re: Seen this??
It looks like they're focused on their 18 foot boat. I think they're still in business. I'd be curious if they'd pick up a phone an answer questions about the new boat. Exciting design. Reminiscent of the Tattoo 22.

Re: Seen this??
I thought the 18 might be a downsizer option but, it’s kind of expensive, esp when compared to a Mac 19, or v22.
Sure it may sail better than those, but does it sail 35000 dollars better??
Thought the bigger Mac copy was interesting.

Re: Seen this??
I like that someone is thinking in terms of improving design. But as Ixneigh alluded to, the extra cost seems a bit excessive when you consider the fact that you can get the same thing or better in berth count, at a lighter weight (looking at you, 26C/S), and in a proven design for far less money. I think that Roger MacGregor's boats have filled that particular niche, and will rule it for a good while. After all, fiberglass is forever.

Esp. Fiberglass that spends part of its life out of the water.
