Rob,
Your flat panel schooner is looking really good to me. My main concern is the transport. Do you know how the German Solitarry is going to get to Germany? If it will be shipped, do you have any info on the cost? I need to decide if my insistence on using a shipping container is hurting me financially, instead of helping.
No exact info, but $5-6,000 is ballpark.
Yeah, but that is the container shipping pricing. The solitarry doesn't fit in a container, nor would the cool new schooner model. On deck shipping is at least $25K, isn't it?
I have been looking at the renderings, I have a couple other thoughts, if that is ok:
It looks like the booms are still pretty high up off the beams. I am concerned about being able to reach them. Can the booms be lowered down to deck level?
The leeward hull looks tall. Is that just for adequate bury, or is it for headroom to the spare bunk/head?
From the renderings, it looks like if the rudders are lifted for shallow water, and they strike bottom, the beams will prevent the rudder from rotating.
It looks like there is only about 2 meters of counter space in the galley. What do you think of the idea of leaving the galley up, but eliminate the shower area and make that the walkway for the galley (still up)? It would enlarge the cockpit roof, but it would be nice to have 3 meters or more of counter space.
