COCCINELLE

Walter graduated from Westlawn Institute and now has his own business designing yachts now. He launched this boat in July of 2005 and it is used as a yacht tender. He writes, "She can carry 3 adults comfortably in protected waters. We usually row her - she has two rowing stations, which can be used alternately to optimize trim - or she may be sailed with a square sail or propelled by a small outboard - things our kids like to do. She rows and tows with ease. The dimensions were dictated by the storage space available ashore. The boat had to fit into a lockable crate under a concrete roof.
