Willet Concept drawings

Promised myself I'd do at least one post with honest progress towards my next project. So I'm starting with some basic concept drawings of how I see Willet, my next adventure craft. Originally I'd thought a set of berths would work, but I've noticed that most boats around 16 feet suffer from excessive windage and I assume pointing ability. With that in mind, I've gone with a 4' x 7' flat, set about waterline and drawn the cabin height just enough to sit comfortably inside. For this first drawing, I've added leeboards to clear the cabin space. The cockpit is small, just comfortable for two people, but self-draining with a space for a potta potti under the stern deck and out of the way.

Next I'll work up some primarily cad work see if it's possible to get the stability I need to sail comfortably yet narrow enough to recover from a capsize with my 200 pounds if worse comes to worse. This will help define the cross sections.
