Spectacular

A Man should have a Sailboat
It should be beautiful.
It should have a Jade Green Hull.
And it should have Tanbark sails
Also it would be wonderful if it sailed as well as it looked.
This is the sailboat that a man should have

Shearwater named after a powerful, long-ranging sea bird is substantially larger than a Dovekie but offers the same solutions in a boat a family or two couples can cruise aboard in "comfort and privacy".

The Shearwater has an absolutely flat bottom.  No rocker, no deadrise.  They are extremely light.  About 2400 pounds with 600 pounds of water ballast.  The Shearwater is designed to sail in 7inches of water off the wind and as little as 12 inches of water upwind.
