Dear Chris

The cruising pilot house sailing boat you describe almost fits the
description of Randy Repass's boat - Convergence.
Randy is the founder and chairman of West Marine, and was on the pick
alongside me recently at Thomas Island in the Whitsunday group in Oz.
I had an opportunity to go aboard and being an old stick and rag man
thought she was an absolute knockout.
Have a look at

This is surely the best rag boat you could imagine for a cruising
couple, and he and his wife Sally Christine are demonstrating this by
what they are doing and where they are now.
Best regards to Sonaia
