The Plan

Original Enigma Rudder

 Even though almost all the stuff I would have considered risky, heartbreaking and messy have been done there is still quite a bit to figure out to get this boat in the water never mind all the things I would like to add.  Here is the shortlist of essentials:

  • Removable Ballast
  • Floatation
  • Yard/Mast/Boom
  • Sail
  • Control Lines
  • Windows/Cabin Top
  • Rudder (partially done)
  • Paddle/Yuloh
  • Chine runner shaping
  • Seating
  • Waterproof hatch install
  • Internal storage

Whenever I face a list that will take me months of work it is helpful to accompany the list with the things I really like about the project.
  • Small easily transportable sailboat
  • Simple elegant design
  • In cabin sail and rudder control
  • Rough weather capable
  • Beach-able
  • Shallow Draft
  • Sail rig Stores in boat
  • Portage-able
  • Lots or room for innovating
  • For the moment one of a kind (good and bad)
  • Ideal for weekend sail camping
  • Matt Layden Design
  • Great looking craft
