Brown Eyed Girl was designed as a live aboard motorsailer suitable for extended cruising. The parameters for the design required good performance under sail, 14 knots top speed, and ease of sail handling. She has a unique layout in that all sleeping areas are private and separated from the living areas. Also she has an inside and an outside steering station with good visibility from both. She is available with freestanding junk rig, freestanding 'Freedom' type rig, and/or twin keels aside from what is shown. A model was built to evaluate styling and graphics as well as for research purposes.        The hull is built using our New Epoxy Wood System (N.E.W.S.) which has been so successful because of its ease of construction, light weight, and high strength. It is essentially a fiberglass hull and deck on the outside with a wooden interior. There is 3/4" of foam insulation inside for warmth and this also gives positive bouyancy, making the boat unsinkable. There are also watertight bulkheads at the bow and stern. The twin forward cabins are mirror images and contain a single berth and hanging locker each. Directly aft is the head which spans the width of the boat and has all amenities including a stand up shower and linen lockers. Amidship is a double quarter berth with his and her hanging lockers. There is a walk through under the navigation center to the aft cabin or you can go up on deck. The aft cabin has a large dinette and an efficient U shaped galley with athwartship stove, double sinks, and large fridge/freezer. There is access up to the pilot house which contains a settee that can be used as a berth for night passages, a large chart table, and helm station. The pilot house is self draining and can be closed off from the rest of the boat. Access to the deck is through a door in the front of the cabin. Here on deck is the outside helm station and a bench seat with storage under. All halyards and sheets are readily available for ease of handling. There is also a bench seat on the aft pulpit. There are many large windows as well as opening hatches for light and fresh air making the interior very bright and airy. Although a boat of good size care must be taken not to over load her as she is of light displacement.        Easily home built or custom built in a small shop, this boat will give her owners many years of carefree live aboard comfort and privacy. With her light weight she should be a real mover in light air and heavy air. A spiritedly performer to put a smile on any sailors face she is not to be passed over quickly as she contains many hidden virtues.
