Dave,

I have a brother-in-law who doesn't like to be "in" a boat. Is there any reason why putting a Blanford style coaming on the Sea Tour wouldn't be close enough to a real Blanford? It just might be easier than lofting the older style boat. I had a Folbot I like long ago which lead me to the question.
You would have to move the #3 frame fwd and probably put in a partial between #3 and #4.
