I like the line of thought about a production hull. There are a lot of very good hulls out there that could be made into great passagemakers. The economy is ripe right now with WAY cheap older boats (ask any broker) that could be gutted to the bare hull and made into the PPM. The hull is only about a third of the overall cost but if systems were kept simple (kinda like IdleWild) and structure kept at the forfront, we could build a GREAT world girdling boat.
