If I was solo or didn't expect to have as much money
available as I hope to have, I'd build Tahiti.

I can think of almost no other boat that meets
the same purpose; that is a safe small cabin cruising
sailboat that fits on a trailer in my driveway.

Latest MAIB (May 15'05) has a wonderful article by PCB on Micro
Navigator Update. I'd be strongly inclined to build one with the
Chinese Gaffer rig if it weren't quite true that I'm slave to
completing a Chebacco. In fact, I cannot think of a finer boat as
permanent backyard vessel of choice -- for stargazing, faux navigating,
dreaming by self or with others. Bruce Hallman quoted a length. Can
one imagine going from Africa to the Cape Verde Islands in this
toy...or is it not a serious boat afterall. Wife thinks it darned cute
and I do too. -- dick b.
