The problem I see with Drumbeat is the fact that there is no external helm position. An external helm position makes docking a lot simpler. Also, not a big fan of having the lines lead into the pilothouse. While that is very convenient, it does allow water ingress in heavy conditions... not much, but keeping the interior of the boat as dry as possible is usually a good thing.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
