I did note that the Haida 26 wasn't there. I don't know for sure how many of these were built, but given that they were built at a small shipyard in Victoria, on Vancouver Island, BC, it probably wasn't too many. One thing they don't have is space for a shower. For me, that's not a critical issue and I do live in a more temperate climate than you have on the Gulf. [I've just recalled a "Boat Shower" we bought when living aboard. It consisted of a rigid 1/2" plastic ring, with tiny holes on the inside, that you put around your neck. A hose went down to the big dishpan of shower water, and had a domed foot pump on the end. You pushed the pump and water came out at neck level. But . . . . every body appendage acted like a launching ramp for this water and it went skittering off in all directions. :-) Of the longish list of things I need or want to do to the boat, one is to remove the V berth and put in a workbench and storage area. I built a collapsing skiff (which, true to it's name, collapsed when boarded :-) ) in the cockpit of my 28' boat. I always have projects, whether nautical, repair or my amateur radio hobby. I will sleep in a salon berth, with my feet in the cubby hole under the stove counter. I can shove my bedding in there during the day. I am fairly claustrophobic and V berths don't suit me at all. BTW, the workbench will be such that I could put a mattress on it and have another single berth up there, which because of easier egress, might not be so bothersome to me. Today, with the help of a couple of land partners here, I got the mast off of the boat. A bit of a tricky operation, but once I figured it out (it took three days to solve all of the interlocking issues) I set it up in an hour and then my buddies arrived and we had it in the bush in fifteen minutes. Now to frame up the tarp support structure.
