i'd be a possible buyer for a smaller weekender version (30' or 9 meter) that;

a.  would be cheaper and lighter

b.  had less sail to wrestle with (and could be more easily reefed)

c.  the ww hull was ~60% this size, with just one double-bed/table, place for composting toilet

d.  could perhaps eliminate the folding hull-ends

e.  the pop-top or bimini could be easily extended over the steering position to reduce skin-cancer and rain

f.  non-folding version

i keep my boat on a mooring.  as long as i could work out a way to lift it fully assembled on our club's 3 ton lift, or to disassemble it for lifting (2 or 3x a year), i'd be ok.  i could imagine eventually wanting to trailer it a couple times per year (after retiring, perhaps) but the folding wouldn't help with that (as i imagine it would still be too wide, even folded).  

thanks for sharing this.
