I built a Chebacco last summer and modified the design so as to have

keel shown in Boats with an Open Mind.
I lived aboard this boat for three months, sailing from Maine to
North Carolina. For as small a boat as this is the cabin was quite
roomy. The only change I would not recommend is the widening of the
cabin as it narrowed the side decks to a rather precarious 6 inches.

Thanks for any help,
