That's pretty much it - the only real innovation is the flat floor,
and that is only because I think it'd be neat. The decking would be
more than enough to keep the water out and I think you'd get more options
for storage space.
The leeboard would be external, mounted on the port side, and would
extend into teh water 3ft deep and be 1ft wide - a la the OZ PDR. The
center of the leeboard would be directly under the CE for the sail (about
44 inces back from the bow.) The rudder would match the OZ PDR.
As I said, I doubt I'll make the Texas200 this year, but if any of
you go, I wish you the best of luck.
