Jerry, I volunteer to be the SF Bay trials assistant.... It will be hard and rigorous, I know, but I'm a giver. Seriously...I'd love to be a part of it and not afraid of working. Many of the ideas are great. My Wendy loves the 17 we own and it's hard to find fault. But, Here are our list of preferences. Opening ports option Forward hatch. Flush to deck perfered (really like the ability to look out and/ or feel the breeze) Porta Pot placement slide out from under cockpit or focsil. (she said that a hatch privacy screen that comes standard would be of interest to women). Comes with mast raising system for single handers (currently not a problem for me, but I can see how it might be as I get older) That¹s about it... When will drawings be available?
