I met Stephen Ladd at one of the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festivals a few years ago, had a good look at "Squeak". Very interesting, SCAMP was at that time a few years off in the future, and while I would not credit Stephens boat with inspiring my own design, it did provide me with something to think about in the way of use of space.
Wow - are you going to publish it here, chapter by chapter, I hope? Pleeeze?
You had me guffawing with remembering - "...the nuts and bolts coming down through the deck, some of which already have strands of ... hair hanging from them...." oh yes. I know that one!
As a "large" upper-middle-ager, I cringe at the contortions needed to sail and live on a small boat like "Squeak". Applause and more power to those who go down to the sea in very small ships!
