Hello,

I'm starting in on the design of a sailing/solo canoe for messing about on rivers near Philadelphia, but also the occasional lake trip in the Adirondacks or jaunt in the Pamlico Sound. My current leaning is towards Walter Dean's Sunnyside Cruiser from Canoecraft, possibly shortened to 14 feet, or modified to have a shallow v hull with a little rocker. Anyone sail a Sunnyside or even paddle one?

If someone has another suggestion, strip built or not (I believe I could figure out how to make it strip built in any case) I'd like to hear from you.
