Design Considerations

List, let's send original our messages and not keep duplicating earlier
postings. I love the design ideas...having cruised on two sailboats and a fast
trawler let me add that almost no designer thinks about safe storage of gasoline
which powers most tenders...not Nauticat, not Oysters by Hollman & Pye, not
Albin, etc. I am not even sure that designers have spent enough time at
sea...bringing up the issue of strong hand holds, rounded joinery corners,  tables
that can withstand a human "fall" and safe transition from lower deck to
upper as necessary.  Just my two cents...
