Couldn't agree more on the 16' Calendar Islands Yawl. A lovely and capable boat. Clint's a great guy, but his designs might be even better :)

I built a KDI in 2019 from Clint’s kit. It was my first build, and being a double ender, especially challenging to plank. Clint was available to answer my many questions via text, email, and phone. I sailed that for 3 years out of Santa Barbara harbor. It is a good design, lightweight and nimble, but ultimately a bit wet and small for the open Pacific swell and chop. I’ve since sold it and am completing a build of Francois Vivier’s Stir-Ven 19. Clint supplied this kit as well. This is a much more substantial boat with water ballast and space for up to 5 crew. Eric Bridgford of Carpinteria Dory Company and I are collaborating on this build. Expect to launch in August.
