A very depressing business model, some trickle-down kleptocracy, and Fatty Goodlander wrote the best thing I've read in a sailing magazine in the last couple of years (so you might want to check it out)...
Like a lot of people I've been hoping that Roberto Barros and his crew would be working on a larger version of the POP 25 boat in plywood.
That said, thay have worked up a 32-foot POP in aluminum (at least one is already under construction) and, just recently, unveiled a 28-foot version also in aluminum...
I don't think I need to tell you that this is one very cool home-buildable boat. Lots more information on the POP 28 here.
Still waiting on a reasonable facsimile of the POP 28/32 in plywood though...
Listening to the Mother Hips
So it goes...
