A very cool scow...

I've always liked scows and especially scow-schooners but sadly not too many boat designers have the same feeling, and the few who have designed the odd scow don't quite jive with what I think they should look like.

Tad Roberts, up there in British Columbia, on the other hand knows exactly what sort of scow makes me go "Ooh" and "Ahh"...


What's not to like about "Harry"? Shoal draft, all the comforts of home in 26 feet and seriously shippy to boot?

I'd love to see Mr Roberts do a bigger schooner along the same lines...
