+ | |||
+ | There are more people putting together designs for cargo vessels to be built from the ground up. These are not projects as such, but designs that could be used by a project. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Scruffie (Australia) == | ||
+ | |||
+ | The design for a Sail Electric, two versions 64 and 100 feet. | ||
+ | Steel hull, gaff ketch rig, | ||
