Paul from New Zealand recently drew my attention to a small
sailboat named ‘Bigornick’. Her designer, Yann Quenet, was inspired to come up
with a boat similar to Matt Layden’s Paradox, but with an offset daggerboard in
addition to chine runners. Being very creative, his fertile mind developed several
hull variations, including those with low profile keels. He also devised a
number of sail plans.
His website is highly attractive, being illustrated with colourful
drawings. I think you will find the site entertaining and instructive. You
might even consider buying plans from Yann, with a view to building one of his
boats, which range between a 2.34 metre rowing dinghy and a 6.00 metre offshore
sailboat. The principles behind his designs are simplicity, strength, aptness
of purpose and speed of building.
