Puddle Duck Racer
But, simplicity aside, the real genius of the Puddle Duck is the childlike innocence it brings to sailing.

I'm struck by the design's utter lack of pretension.

It will need to be solid enough to shrug off nature but light enough to carry the skipper and a load of stores. It needs to be comfortable to sail since, no matter how nice nature is, the skipper will spend a lot of time in the boat.

The 10 ft should be a much faster boat and probably better suited for 'raid races' the 8 ft pdracers are used in. I never learned a thing from an argument ...
