Hi
The Sea Pearl 21 had crossbeams and floats (amas?) added and the
result was successful enough for the manufacturer to make it an
option.
I think that Hugh Horton may have some knowledge about them as I
believe that one or more showed up at his Cedar key meets.I searched
the Sailing Canoe group but could not locate a reference

One idea I've seen mentioned for the LS is to re-rig it as a cat-schooner
(ketch?) with two 59 ft^2 leg o'mutton sails taken from Brick, Gypsy, Teal,
et. al. in place of the powered up schooner rig. I think this would make a
nice boat, if a bit too docile in light winds.
Bolger also published a recent re-design of this boat as a cat schooner with
two identical gaff sails of about 75 ft^2 each that might be a little easier
to handle. If you are buying plans from PCB&F, you might get the sheet with
the new sailplan as part of your purchase price.

David ryan had a bad experience doing just that, maybe he could help
us with the appropriate archive reference..
The common response is to refer you to the single handed schooner,
plans from both Bolger and Payson.
whatever you choose you'll love your schooner.

I'm girding my loins to mail off a cheque to buy the plans and
actually do this.
I still have reservations. Does anyone have ideas for making the
boat more seaworhty and easier to sail short/single handed.
I'll be sailing in a somewhat exposed area and worry about water
coming over the deck and getting swamped, can the boat be righted
bailed and sailed home?
What about adding some ballast/water ballast?
Wish me luck, I'm heading to the Post Office
