Storer/Korhonen OozeGooze build

[Rick136]

Hi Everyone; First post here. I have just built the prototype OozeGooze, which is a cabin sailboat that is based on the PDGoose class, which is a stretched version of the PDRacer. This particular boat was built in British Columbia, delivered to Andrew Linn in Salem Oregon, and is going to be raced next week in the Texas 200. From there, Mike and Jackie Monies are taking to Oklahoma with them and Shawn Payment is taking it to South Carolina, then off to the OBX130 in September. Then it is going back to Oklahoma for the SailOklahoma Boat Festival in October, then is being delivered back to me in B.C. (hopefully before the water gets hard)
Can somebody educate me as to how to post a photo please?
Rick.

The cabin is HUGE! Berths are over 7 feet long, sitting headroom, very open for what it is...The berths go halfway under the seats, then there is a 2 foot long locker on each side in the cockpit, then another 14" wide by 12" deep by 48" wide lazerette at the end of the cockpit. Not too bad for a 12' boat!

(I'll post some pictures as soon as someone tells me how, and how to resize them to fit)

Wow!... That is impressive! It must be a real pleasure to cruise on such a boat. I would like to see more if it is possible.

That boat is incredible! Thanks for the pictures!

The boat is now in Texas ready to race/cruise for five days and two hundred miles.

The boat successfully completed the TX200, averaged 5.2 mph everyday even with the stops, and kept up with all the big girls on the trip.
Here are a couple of pictures.
