I'm just moving this topic from the Duckworks forum, since two of the three boats on my shortlist are PB designs. I'm looking for a, preferably, sub-20' liveaboard. The three designs on my shortlist are Jessie Cooper (not sub-20' but has all the must-haves and most of my nice-to-haves), SuperBrick (most of the musts and many of the niceties) and a Triloboat (fully customizable - ie: detailed hull only and nothing on rig, cabin, deck or steering arrangement).

Power shanties are not completely out of the question, but most are designed solely for lakes and rivers and I live in Seward, Alaska so my local sailing is fjords and all that entails. Tad Roberts has a tempting design but I'd prefer sail if I can get away with it.

Mostly, I need a quickly built, insulated shell with respectable headroom (I'm 6'1" in my socks) to move into for the coming winter that I can finish up later.

Can anyone help narrow my list a little more?

I looked at Watervan a couple years ago. I'll revisit the idea. Frankly, I think Tad Roberts' 20-foot shanty is prettier but Watervan has more of my nice-to-haves (I think. I sent an e-mail to Tad with a few questions.)
