Boat model is— ahem! — none other than a San Francisco Pelican, a lovely boat, one that once sailed from SF to the Farallone Islands. Godfrey’s removed the center board and rigged it up on the starboard side so he ‘ll have a roomy interior. He claims he can get 8 people inside. It’s got a sliding (curved) clear Lexan roof for rainy weather. It’ll have a junk rig. Godfrey has sailed around Vancouver Island several times, once in a homemade catamaran.
About Lloyd Kahn

Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
I can't imagine how a centerboard would work, whether to starboard or to port. I'd like to see this under sail.
Looks like it's going to be a beauty.
