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...

Nate,
Thanks for the info. Very nice picture, inspiring to say the least.

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.
