 Horribly ugly, but very simple to build. Probably cheap, maybe even possible without resorting to marine ply. Horribly ugly, but very simple to build. Probably cheap, maybe even possible without resorting to marine ply.

 +=== Ship Designs ===
 +
 +There are more people putting together designs for cargo vessels to be built from the ground up. These are not projects as such, but designs that could be used by a project.
 +
 +== Scruffie (Australia) ==
 +
 +The design for a Sail Electric, two versions 64 and 100 feet.
 +Steel hull, gaff ketch rig, 
 +The 100 foot version has space for 2 20 foot containers or a 40 foot, utilising the container standardisation. On board crane only does 1 tonne, so it will not be able to unload the containers itself. Bilge keels for tidal work, with dagger boards.
 +
 +http://www.gosailcargo.com/
 +
 +== Tad Roberts cargo Schooner ==
 +
 +52 and 60 foot schooners. Steel hull, V bottom 16 foot long cargo area, inspired by Grand Banks fishers.
 +
 +http://www.tadroberts.ca/services/new-design/sail/steelcargoschooner60
 +
 +==  Ville Matias Lindén ==
 +
 +Finnish designer, completed a wooden design.
 +Laminated frames for strangth, wooden hull for ease of repair, schooner, based on New England fishing boats for speed. Designed for the Pacific coast of middle and south America.
 +17 meter length, 4.6m breadth.
 +
 +No public version of it, documented in his Master's Thesis, 2018. Lots of calculations and comparisons, good to read.
