Interesting to see someone building a new old style clinker day boat with a cabin. Reminiscent of an Orkney, but with a bigboat pulpit and integral trim tabs. Is it double skinned? Is the lack of engine splash well a good idea? The web site shows it looking lovely in the Adriatic, but would it cope around the coast of Britain without a splashwell?
