THe good news is mornings are often quiet and you can get into port before the winds build. Still, I like that one you showed, a lot. There was a gal who had a similar craft, straight sided blunt nosed 10' X 20' moored where I kept my old Freedom 25. She had it under cover and lived aboard it for several years until a boyfriend came along. It was a nice little barge boat with cedar siding, house style, etc. Still, I'd prefer an Airex cored fiberglass hull or somesuch over a ply hull for a 'vessel' that didn't move much nor was necessarily peopled by boaters.
