Here is the story of the attempt on the record from the designers web site:

After a slow trip across the Gulf Stream for a shakedown cruise to the Bahamas, and a holiday there, Howard sent us another report: "The trip back across the Stream was a very quick one, just under 12 hours. We were surfing about half of the way back, and averaged a little over five knots!"...

After sailing 10,000 miles from Miami, Florida, through the Panama Canal and across the Pacific, touching at the Galapagos, Marquesas, Fiji, Tahiti and on towards Australia, he touched a little too hard on a reef off Noumea, New Caledonia. There, towards the end of November 1982, the beautiful Happy was lost, an hour before Howard was due on watch in the early hours before dawn. Howard was able to scramble into his dinghy and surfed his way over a number of treacherous reefs (spending the night on the overturned hulk of a steel wreck), landing in Noumea the next day. Friends he'd met in the Marquesas took him back to Happy to salvage all possible gear, but she was otherwise a complete loss.

Paradox:

Paradox is one of the most well known micro cruisers, primarily due to the many long distance voyages made by its designer Matt Layden which include the Bahamas and winning the 300 mile Everglades challenge. Plans are available for the Paradox. Many have been completed from plans and some of these have also made remarkable journeys including trips through the Hawaiian Islands and up the west coast of Australia.

The design is unusual in many respects. The hull is a sharpie with internal ballast under he floor. Protrusions on the chine logs called "chine runners" help prevent leeward motion and allow the yacht to sail effectively to windward despite the lack of a keel or centre board. The sail rig is also unusual with a furling main sail. All controls are routed to the cockpit and the boat can be sailed from the comfort of the cabin in foul weather.

Pocket Cruiser:

Here is a really nice little boat. It is a design from Stevenson Projects who sell the plans.

L.O.A.:17'6"  (over the bowsprit)

It looks to be a well thought out practical boat.

Construction is all wood using exterior grade plywood. Many of these boats have been built around the world. One builder completed his boat in just 32 days. Others have completed long coastal passages.

Selway Fisher 4M:

At just over 13’ length, the 4m Mini Yacht has 2 berths and space for a portable WC inside plus large areas for stowage or flotation.

The yacht has a dagger board type keel with a steel core and lead bulb which is bolted in place for sailing but which can be raised using the main halyard for easy trailing. The box for the dagger board runs through the cabin and has a major effect on the usability of the cabin space. 

Construction is based on a ply framework consisting of ply bulkheads and a ply fore and aft girder which incorporates the keel box. The planks can then be fitted and finished using the simple stitch and tape method for the chine seams.
