Hi Joe

Welcome aboard and Happy Thanksgiving.

You can pretty much build any S & G design as a hybrid. Several have done this with a variety of different boats. Even if not offered as a hybrid.
Bill Price did a Sea Spirit, of Bobby Curtis' design, and has the complete process on his web-site. It worked out very well. You might take a look at it and see if this is something you may want to tackle yourself.

Go to his web-site and just click on the Sea Spirit link and wander through there for a while. He makes it look very easy.

Good luck with your search and keep us informed of your choice and progress. We're always interested in new ideas and " Pictures "!! :D
