So, you have a choice, you can either play by the rules or go rogue, step outside the accepted norms of sailboat fashion, and scandalize the neighborhood.
Give it some thought... It's really not an easy decision because your choice of boat and lifestyle, if you don't toe the fashionable party line, very much affects how folks relate to you and not always in a positive way.
I know because I built this boat and sailed it to a lot of places...
To say that a shoal draft, scow bowed, free-standing gaff cat rig sharpie upset some people's idea of the proper order of things would be something of an understatement...
Heads may have exploded...
Now if you can live with a bit of negative reaction, really pissing off some folks, and the odd head exploding...
...Stick around and we'll try and sort out the whole getting on the water for less gig!
