Hi, I am just in the process of deciding whether to build the Pocketship. I built a CLC Tenderly during the lockdown which I use once or twice a week but fancy something that I can go further afield. I have read your whole blog and it looks like you are close to launch. I am interested to see a Pocketship in person before deciding. I am based in North Kent (Bromley)
I am also trying to find out just how capable the boat would be. Do you think it would be up to sailing in the Solent in 25 - 30 knot winds? The other concern might be the tides, what sort of speed through the water are you expecting when under power, trying to figure if this would overcome some of the tides on the south coast. In reality though, I may end up trying to find some decent inland bodies of water.
Have attached a picture of my Tenderly just in case you are interested
