Recently, over at the WoodenBoat forum there was some discussion of a newish George Buehler design...
On the whole, I don't like forums as they bring out a certain insecure my-dicks-bigger-than-yours mean spirited vibe that I find depressing to the max. The reason I mention this is if you want to do the VolksCruiser thing you would be well advised to not ask questions about it on a boat forum.
Remember the third rule of VolksCruising is to keep a low profile...
