Presto
It may be worth noting Mr. Bolger mentions that Commodore Munro's Presto
required 10,000 lbs of ballast. (Page 258 BWAOM)
Holy crap!
I wonder how that compares with PCB&F's FIJI - which seems to me to be
an ideal circumnavigator for a couple? Would love to see one of these
built, as I think it brings together a lot Phil and Susannes thoughts on
an overall safe design.
The relatively high pilothouse may turn off those who are attached to
more traditional solutions, but if the tranparent sections were thick
enough it is stronger than wood. Every detail related to safety and
comfort have been covered in my view.
