My VolksCruiser want list...

Such as it is.

What I want...

• A boat that's seaworthy
• Shoal draft (1 meter or less) That will dry more or less upright
• Affordable to build or buy
• Affordable to cruise and maintain on a tight budget
• Simple user servicable redundant systems
• Outboard motor
• Integrated wind vane self-steering
• A comfortable double bed at least 7' long 
• One good sea berth
• Sufficient accessible stowage for needful tools/materials & parts
• A comfortable place for two to read/lounge/play music
• Small but efficient galley
• A head I can shower in without making a mess
• Dedicated accessible stowage for a reasonable quiver of guitars
• Sensible stowage for two real bikes
• Stowage for six months of provisions
• Space on deck for a good rowing dinghy

and, yeah...

• Standing headroom (6'6") would be nice where needful

Next we'll look at that list a little closer to see what's missing or doesn't pass the need test...
