Re: Sitka fevor
No, John I didnt commission her. (I would have tho!!)
I am leaning towards the double berth cant break old habits!
Yes, 10' beam would be nice except for towing, building, paying, etc
I think it is plenty big as is and am worrying about moving it about the country
to different cruising grounds, I think that is my biggest concern.
I am sure Mr Bolger is still busy with the I60 but dang I sure am anxious.

Sitka and Dakota are the most similar, that is long
term displacment speed cruising.
Topaz is much more of a light weight, weekend
party boat, from my mind I see her as a
curvaceous version of Tennessee.
My S.O. has gone from favoring the Champlain
to now favoring the Topaz.
Here is a model.

I take it that you've commissioned their completion?
Neat boat, it's one I keep coming back to. Although I do think PCB's desire
to keep it to 8' of beam is a bit silly on a 40' boat. It sure would open up
the floorplan options if he'd bump her up to 10' beam.
I personally prefer the symmetrical plan over the asymmetrical alternative,
even though it doesn't give you a permanent berth. Bolger mentioned a third
alternative layout for Sitka, any idea what it is? Which one would you
build?
