yes, it would be a new design based on the Aeutesque that Nick designed. being at 14' i will probably go to 22" to 24" wide, swede form and done in SOF. have been playing with this and think I can pull it off. even if it is considered a new design I still will give thanks to Nick for the Aleutesque and his total vision of a great design.

i read somewhere that this boat maybe hard to back up. but i have not read anything from Nick about this.

here is a couple of sites. i like the one from Iceland. these two guys have built two really nice looking Aleutesque. take a look.
