OK, so I guess that Sol ww hull was more substantial so thereby deeming the BL to be a shorter course racer.
Still they are both the most extreme Harrys. And that one that had just a swivel chair on top of a rudder, still in Photos?

So seeing as I should make a choice from the current crop, then it would be a BL with Sol type accomod. Which is like still a Sol. but with latest style/techniques?

I would then go with normal cruising:   Schooner sails. Rectangular cross beams. Just 6m not 8m overall beam. Outboard on hinge. Swing up rudders. Lengthened to 15m lw, but can I keep same cross section size (so not too skinny for strength?).

Hopefully this would be relatively cheap, round Oz boat.

Was wondering today:  for ease of build and transport, if you did the lw hull in 2 7.5m lengths that shouldn't be too hard to join permanently once at the boatyard/launching site.
Some logistics about transport, launching and mooring are not as easy with such long and wide boats. Especially mooring.

BTW, how do you add photos or videos within posts?
Is this called embedding?

It would improve a lot of the plainness of following the explanations

And Rob, do you mean you put the beam under the car and levered it up, with a jack? You didn't break the brand new beam i hope!
