Some dream boats I have drawn underway, most of these sailboats were inspired by my current boat PARPAR, which is a Brent Swain design...
These would all be steel boats, origami construction....

Junk freestanding wood masts, and a 150 hp engine.
This is a 55 footer, lots of space, nice for cruising around the Pacific Northwest with the wood stove burning inside, keeping everbody warm.. This is a bilge keeler, a boat this big would cost a fortune to haul out in a yard. |

Pretty much a Brent Swain 36
but it has a drop keel and extreme shallow draft. |

ORCA 34
Orca has an aft cabin but is tiller steered, this is a full keeler with a drop board. Quite a beamy 34 footer. I realize the rudder looks out of place, actually there are two rudders, keeping the boat upright on the beach. I wanted something you can lift up and down, or a rudder whose bottom half swings back so you the boat is resting on the keel, just being balanced by the rudders.

big parpar
this is a bilge keel Parpar, whith an aft cabin. it is about a 44 footer.
i think if i was building a boat in the future, this would be the one. first, i would have to see if Brent has plans for a boat this size.... |

Shoal Draft Motorsailor
36 footer drop keel, ramming bow. i think this would draw around 3 feet. i guess it could alternatively have little bilge keels. nice for motoring up rivers and anchoring in tidal areas...but would it sail?

this is about a 50 footer
long and narrow, speed machine |
