Great project!  So where do you see the supplies going to?  Just curious,
want to form visualization; someplace warm and tropical?

Yes it does!  Not able to retire yet.  This is our family's missionary
supply and disaster relief vessel.  It is designed to be able to bring up to
5000# of supplies in the convertible saloon area.  Full keel 5'7" draft,
12'beam Center cockpit allows living in the stern section for delivery crew
when laden with supplies.
We are still finishing hull, then will start interior build out.
