Bob, Do the drawings or designs for the Flushdeck layout still exist? Do you need an existing flushdeck to take deck layout info from? Hmmmm? You know the fin keel flushdeck version of this boat would make a great club racer, it would also make a great new One Design fleet. It would fill the gap nicely between dinghy sailors and the move to the 30 & 40 footers. But the M17 is such a great sailing boat, along with it's classic lines and somewhat retro look, some may not bother to go to the larger more expensive boats. Food for thought, Eh

The problem with the Galley model is only one person can sit below. While this is not a problem forsingle or solo sailors, most of our owners have wives and family. And so far, everyone likes the 4 berthboat. Cooking outside on a cockpit table under an awning works for most.
