Bill,

Wasn't "Nencia" a round-botom lapstrake Chabacco?

Peter,

Thanks for counting them! I believe that Brad has built more than 10
Chebaccos - at least one of which ( a lapstrake one ) has a round bottom - a
modification that didn't have PCB's blessing - although it's just the same
above the waterline! So - whether that counts as an 'official' Chebacco
depends on your point of view! Anyway, Brad sails that boat himself, and is
very pleased with it.

I suppose I could do some kind of statistical analysis of how many boats I
didn't know about pop up each year (one or two), and thereby estimate the
number remaining to be discovered out there. I guess I'll leave that to
those better qualified to do it.
