[bolger] Re: Matt Layden, Bahama sharpies...
I think I found that site originally off Larry's page. The pics of those
little boats in that clear Bahamian water are really neat. Somewhere in the
specs for some of the boats it indicated that the water ballast is FRESH
WATER. That means you're drinking your ballast. Also, a conservative
skipper might give the order "no bathing; we got a particularly rough
passage coming up and we can't waste the ballast!

This is sort of on topic. Matt Layden... I'd just read about him in a
book on beach camping then came across this site on his boats. He builds
boxy bogeresque (no rip offs, just the flavor and spirit) sharpies that
regularly hop the stream to the bahamas. They're quirky, narrow, water
balasted, one has no keel or leeboards. All controls in cabin. Give it a
look. He even has study plans there on one of his designs.
