Let's get started picking this Alubat apart, you're not going anywhere soon. 
In Response To: Here's one in your neighborhood. ()
() Here's one thing I don't like. I love the long wide cockpit because we spend so much time there. And it's nice to have the wheel out of the way all the way aft as it is at anchor. But I find a wheel that far aft completely exposes you at to the elements. You simply couldn't reach aft to hold that wheel while sitting forward in the protection of a good dodger.
It would be tempting to take the wheel out and put on a tiller in this situation unless it was easy to move forward.
I don't mind the arch.
