Dont tell the missus but I have found the next one to build.  She's an absolute beauty and fits several requirements I am looking for especially to get swmbo more into sailing.

There is a guy building one in Greece and it looks good although he's made a mess of the port and sb windows.

Anyone fancy helping me lay fibre glass on this one? 

[Debs.]

Very nice design.....much-more work than that nice little skiff, though.

I just might know someone with an addiction to resin.

Best of luck with the project G 8-) Would love to see a pictorial account of your progress.

Can't help you with the glass fibre I'm afraid as I'm stuck in the dark country for the forseeable future

I would like a roofrackable design with a payload of 5 people including 2 largish adults.

Thats doable if you drive a challenger tank

My pump up will carry four but my wife doesn't want to go in it.

Do you want motor or sail?

Oar and small light motor

Something I could use on the Helford for example, but when we are down there we are bringing our accomodation with us, for the caravan haters, 4 to 5, 2 week holidays in that area in a rented house would equal the cost of a new caravan.

Looks very nice, good luck with it

If you weren't so far away, i'd gladly help, but not with fibre glass. I wouldn't be sailing, but flying instead

Have a look at these:

I reckon you need the 15' family boat which on the extremes of car topable (albeit doable)  I would make the fore and aft decks flush with the gunwhales so those bulkhead would need modifying slightly.  It would be easy to fit row locks onto the gunwhale and to build a small bracket for an outboard.  A nice touch on this would be a small rudder that the kids could control while you slug your heart out on the oars!

If you decide to go ahead let me know and I could pop over and give a hand

You're only an hour away (by my driving)!!!

wuss!

If I was a bit closer I would gladly give you a hand with the lay up. looks an interesting project, good luck with it
