While designed primarily as a cruiser, the hull lines are optimized for the higher end of the speed range. Maximum beam is carried well aft to increase power and prevent squatting due to crew weight. The underbody consists of a separated fin keel and spade rudder for minimum wetted surface and good lift upwind. This is a stiff boat that reaches hull speed easily and stays there with little fuss. Draft has been held to only three feet so trailer launching and retrievals should present few problems on a decent ramp.
Construction is of wood strip-planking with glass cloth sheathing for extra strength and durability.
Bulkheads and decking are built from marine ply. The plan set includes computer-generated offsets for all mold stations, expanded transom and stem profile. Full-size patterns are also included for the fin keel and rudder lifts. As in all our designs, no lofting is required. Intermediate Plan Set Pricing Complete set incl.
