Hi Josh, I wondered that too, I am planning on starting one soon myself.(just waiting on that October bonus check) Anthony Bailey in his book "The Thousand Dollar Yacht" tells of his adventures with a Ketch he made out of a custom built St.Pierre Dory hull he bought in 1968. It was Ketch Rigged with a centerboard. It was 27' 10" long, 8' 4" bredth. daft of 1" 9", ballast of 500lbs (internal) and sail area of 250 square feet. He also had a small outboard (Seagull) for auxillery power. Sounds a lot like "Our" Lucky Pierre doesn't it?
