Oh and wood rudder works too. Light and stiff. Kickup absolute necessity.

No exterior woodwork *at all* except perhaps the drop boards (that you can take in the house to do).
Interior wood is easy on the eyes and low maintenance.
No opening side ports. A self-contained fwd hatch and base flange that can be installed either facing fwd or aft to suit the customer (no fiberglass tooling or separately mounted parts that would prevent swapping the hatch around at a later date. No holes to fill if swapped around)
Perhaps interior storage designed to accept standardized storage boxes which could be moved from home to boat and back without having to pack individual items into the boat.

One of the things I take on my backpack hunting trips (8 or 9 days; usually in one weekend and out the next) is tuna, sealed in a plastic bag. Never had a problem except one nite I almost got et by a bear (well, not really, once he got close enough for my human scent to overcome the smell of the tuna he went into "feet, don't fail me now" mode). I usually put it in cooked rice, with boullion or similar. You can buy it at the local supermarket.
What's wrong with a varnished interior? Do it once and it'll stay forever, unlike the exterior?. Besides, it smells good.

That's pretty close to my menu in the backcountry and on a boat (with the addition of canned fruit cocktail for a long passage), and it is actually enjoyable. Perhaps some of you have read the book by a guy who singlehanded a Flicka to the South Seas and around to North America. As I recall, he bought a few cases of DintyMoore beef stew and survived on that singular balanced diet. Would Spam have done the trick? As for teak: rails, handholds and companionway slides should absolutely be teak, because beauty is always worth the trouble. Teak decks and varnished cabin exteriors, forget about it.

All this discussion of foods brought me back to the 70's when I used to do a lot of backpacking. In a store in Vienna VA, Appalachian Outfitters, there was a tattered newspaper article about Grandma Gatewood who starting in her 60's hiked the entire length of the Appalachian Trail..... three times. Her food? Dried beef, nuts & Cheese, saltines, and vienna sausage!! She hiked the trail, not in super designer boots, but in Keds sneakers. Carried an army blanket for sleeping, a shower curtain for her shelter, and a rain cape. She carried everything in a sack that she slung over one shoulder. I guess when all was said and done the one question she didn't get from any of her 23 grandchildren was "What's for dinner, Grandma???"" Joe
