Is it 15m or 50ft? (15m is 49ft 2 1/2 ins). I ask because various countries are introducing red tape BS to stop us cruising with a 50 ft limit.
The Panama Canal has a dramatic jump in fees at 50ft, Europe is demanding insurance and AIS same, And I think QLD has some BS at that length also.
I would still love to build one of these, maybe I should reshape the bow slightly to make it 14.9m.
