Look what I found, from the folks who brought you the Core Sound 17 and Core Sound 20:

LAPWING
LOA 15' 8" Beam 5' 6 1/2" Draft 7" - 42"
A new design is being build tested at this time: LAPWING (a wading bird)
A daysailer that combines classic panache with attitude. The traditional lapstrake look of her hull, belies Lapwing's thoroughly modern performance.
The construction uses glued (epoxied) plywood strakes built over a jig. Unlike traditional lapstrake construction, there are no frames, so the interior of the hull is clean. She has 8 strakes per side, giving her a nice round-bilged hull form.
After the build-testing is completed, it is our intention to offer Lapwing as a plan, with full size jig AND strake patterns. We also expect to be able to offer the boat in kit form, either a jig only kit or as a jig and strake kit.
We will be updating as work progresses - and check out the messing-about forum for more information from the build test.
