Mark.....I don't have any drawings for the Flushdeck....Perhaps Jerry has some?.. Usually, once you build a few the drawings aren't needed. You'll just have to bring 'Amy' over to the boatshop in Ontario and let me have a look see. I think a Flush deck, Fin Keel M_17 would be a fantastic all-around-boat. You still have a couple of berths below..?.... Fair winds Bob (949) 489-8227

The problem with the Galley model is only one person can sit below. While this is not a problem forsingle or solo sailors, most of our owners have wives and family. And so far, everyone likes the 4 berthboat. Cooking outside on a cockpit table under an awning works for most.
