All you folks posting pictures of classic boat porn should visit the photo gallery of the Pacific Northwest chapter of the Classic Yacht Association: http://www.classicyacht.org/pnw/pnwgallery3.htm.

Pardon the pun but every time I look at that web site I get a woodie!

They wouldn't let me near boats like that. I drool too much! Have fun fella's.

Boats that go slow usually don't interest me too much, but there's something about some of those classic boats...

Greetings Jacques and Co.,

It has been two whole weeks (20,160 minutes), since the initial "contribution funnel" had its lid epoxied shut.

While we are certain your attention to this specific topic has not been interrupted by any other nautical design/construction topic or personal element of life, have any electronic run-ups been sufficiently tossed at this early point that we might steal a quick look, or, should we (at the very least), be advised to consider one, two or all of the following:

A.) Continue the consumption of our bath-tub Gin to keep vision blurred.

B.) Smash hand or thumb with claw hammer to provide useful distraction from lustful anticipation.

or,

C.) Send you gift cards for your favorite adult beverage wholesale location(s).

A “friendâ€

The 3D "sketch is almost complete: hull completely defined, nice rounded transom, beautiful sheer line. Engine in place.
I am working on the "sedan" layout. This will be a very comfortable version with a large forward cabin followed by a large head with shower. A few steps up lead to the salon with on port side a U shaped galley with bar followed by a large L shaped settee and table. On starboard, steering followed by a wide space with maybe 2 chairs, TV cabinet in corner. Sliding doors lead to a large aft deck, all same level. The roof extends over the aft deck. There is a flying bridge with 2nd steering station, seating and room behind it for a dinghy on the roof.
Foredeck is also very roomy. All together, it looks very nice.
This is my preferred layout but there will be two others: a classic Grand Banks style with double cabin (one aft cabin and smaller saloon) and another sedan with two cabins forward. A little cramped but possible.
I need a few more days to fine tune the shape of the superstructure then the design goes to one of our associates who will produce the final model and drawings.
It will take a few months before I post the plans but we are progressing fats on thsi one.

nice rounded transom, beautiful sheer line....

Visualizing..........

Thank you Jacques for the mental crafting we are now all attempting to do.

In lieu of spinning madly out of asynchronous orbit, I will return to regimens'
A and B, until further notice.

Cheers,

Wow, that was fast ... And the descriptions sounds really, really interesting
Pls post 3D sketch images asap when ready

I lost track of this somehow. What hull type did we decide on?

Possible TW34 Design Interpretation,

I am not positive, but believe I have discovered a partial interpretation for the description provided by Jacques earlier. The stay sail seems a bit forward, and think the “eyesâ€

Hmmm......the photo did not post...hmmm.......there we go........
