Okay, northern hemisphere #sailor, gimme your best fantasy #sailboat designs. It is winter, too cold to #sail (for most of us, or at least *at home*,) and you are probably looking at dinghies or just came home from the #BoatShow.

Criteria:
* offshore solo passaging
* light air
* 175 cm / 5'9" headroom
* decent sea berth

What gets your juices going? (Dreaming about boats is the winter activity of #sailors; that or building dinghies.)

Okay #sailboat people, I am obsessing about (another) #boat design. And I have permission to pursue the concept from my partner.

So I am looking for a #NavalArchitect / #BoatDesigner to tell me why this is a stupid idea and I should just consider a nice used tupperware boat. Ideally, they will be fascinated with old #sail #racing classes, limited #SailArea rules, and familiar with one-off boat building.
