Ohh yea. When I saw the subject, I bet to myself that it would be gaff rigged and guess what.

There's something about a gaff rigged boat.

Mac, it's Sam Devlin's "Seaswift"...John, "Seaswift" is drawn as a spritsail cat-ketch rig...in the photo the rig is loose-footed gaff with snotter (x2), good call...

Mac, you're very welcome...like all of Sam's small boat designs "Seaswift" has "workman-like" features, simple elegance, sail-ability, predictable performance, and it is build-able by anyone. I wish a customer would commission this design; I'd love to build one...or encourage someone to build one.
