Comments on: Sven Yrvind collaborates with Matt Layden http://intheboatshed.net/2008/02/29/sven-yrvind-collaborates-with-matt-layden/ A weblog about great boats, boatbuilding and restoration. And sheds, of course!

Layden is quite cagey about his designs, I gather because he worries that people won't understand them and the importance of each of their details, and so will change them and perhaps get into trouble as a result. I have to say that's a worry for boat designers everythwere. I'd also say that the Layden-Bris style boat wouldn't be for me - I'm not really an adventurous type, and in any case I like to feel the wind in my hair, secure in the knowledge that the door to my cabin is firmly closed and will keep the green stuff out if a big lump of it arrives in my cockpit!

The concept and design are incredibly intriguing and I would welcome the opportunity to acquire plans if / when available.
