I volunteer with a wooden traditional boat educational program, brings young adults into the world of adulting, trains in workshop safety, tool use, and in sailing small craft. I look at the boats used, and I could single-hand them, no issue. Having even three people work at sailing them is way overkill.

I'm mulling over whether we might be able to build something more complex to sail and use that for a final teamwork platform. Reward/goal. At the end of this program, you'll learn how to be part of a team sailing our beautiful XXX, which takes knowledge, skill, and respectful teamwork. That kind of thing.

Something that looks very nautical would be ideal, with a cabin hosting a simple head, simple kitchen - like a micro house. That always changes the character of a vessel for me. Of course, we're going home at the end of the day - but we don't necessarily have to! And there is opportunity for overnight trips places, so sleeping 2 below deck and 2 in the cockpit would be a nice size.

This may still be too much for us (or at least while I'm involved), but having a few designs in mind to discuss and refine this concept might provide some drive.

Thanks much for any suggestions or other ideas. It's the teamwork aspect in planning, building, and ultimately using that's the key.
