Youneed a Prior coaster 33
However, if you sneek up to a public building, one night,; & paint that sketch on the side of the building; it could go one of 2 ways. First you get locked up for vandalism (most likely); or second they think that you are the new Banksy (Wansy) & you get paid enough to buy the boat without winning any lottery

You know I am (or was) a pretty decent artist...everyone has always enjoyed my art and I was able to earn a living from it as a youngster.....here is how it all started....
As a very young boy we emigrated to New Zealand (£10 pom)...we left school and sold up before getting stuck in the seaman’s strike for six weeks, then the ship to NZ took another six weeks...I had missed a lot of school.... but when I got to school in NZ a funny thing happened.... I was more advanced academically than my classmates (I put this down to my inborn intelligence and the English school system being a higher grade....because my extremely thick older brother fitted straight in)...in more enlightened times I would have skipped a class...but it was a long time ago. So instead of doing any lessons... I was allowed to spend an entire school year all day every day drawing.... and I drew boats and ships...nothing else

Shallow draft boats with long keels roll like pigs. The addition or inclusion of bilge keels sorts it. Try an LM30 or 32 if you could afford it.My father had the forerunner,the Freeward,rolled like a pig
However I dont see why you dont simply buy an old Merry Fisher or Colvic Watson rather than wait for lottery

This waiting for the lottery win is doing my head in.....every time I contemplate doing a project on my boat....I think, what if I win the lottery tomorrow and just buy a bigger boat...I am seriously procrastinating
