Jacques, lets make a thread for it:
I don't forget it but I have been busy with this:
It's not finished, I may change a few things.
It's 26' long by a little more than 8' wide, easily driven hull, flat bottom!!! with a skeg (prop is protected) offshore capable, diesel inboard, top speed 18 mph with a 50 HP, same inside layout than our LB26.
No other specs, I am still working on it.
I may lower that "windshield".
The new design

Sharpie with well immersed bow to reduce slamming.

Jacques,
The boat looks beautiful! I like the curved windshield too!
One suggestion - Consider making an outboard an option. I've looked into and studied installing an inboard engine. There are a lot of subsytems to consider and they will make it too complex for most amateur boatbuilders. I believe you will sell more plans and more boats will be built if you make an outboard an option.
Bolger's Blackbird was an outboard version cruiser.
Thanks for all of the great designs!

To do it right, I would have to redesign the hull for an out board.
I'll finish the inboard first.
