I guess my goals are something like this:
- Comfortable for 4 to 8 people to exist on for a week or more without land contact.
- Safe and relatively easy to operate for a lonely skipper when necessary.
- Light enough to be affordable to run and to make good speed on minimal power.
- Sufficient range and durability to consider doing international trips.
- Attractive to look at, from all angles.
- Easy to keep clean and tidy during use.
- Plenty of good living space inside.
- Plenty of good working space outside.
- Does not dig its arse in when going fast or fastish.
- Good easy access to engine for maintenance and replacement.
