From George Buehler's website:
EMILY is sort of a large "pocket cruiser." The idea was to create a simple and seaworthy boat that was as small as was possible to carry two people, provisions, and personal things on a long cruise. She’s a tough little ship. A few years ago when that raceboat COYOTE was flipped in a storm drowning her owner Mike Plant, a little EMILY was out in the same storm. She got knocked down which scared the crap out of her mid 60 year old owner, but came through just fine.
You might think that 30' doesn't sound very small. But, EMILY is a small 30, if that makes sense. Her length is stretched out to cover a narrow beam and she has fine ends. This makes her hull very easy to wrap material around, and allows her to slip through the water very easily. The result is a boat that will be easier and cheaper to build than many boats 5 to 8 foot shorter, but will sail better because she's longer, and will be more comfortable because the interior is stretched out. This of course means she doesn't have the volume you'd expect in most 30 footers which is why I suggest her for a young person or couple. I remember I was happy as hell back in my 20s in a boat smaller than this.
