This one will also be looking for space on the drawing board. This is the newest of the radius chine plywood designs. The design is now nearing completion and the hull, deck and interior construction drawings can be supplied, with other details to follow soon. Although aimed primarily at the Mount Gay 30 Class, the superstructure has been shaped to satisfy the requirements of the IMS Rules as well, allowing her to be used as a club racer without the optional water ballast permitted by the Mount Gay 30 Rules. The bulk of the construction is of plywood, epoxy filleted together for simplified construction.
Negotiations are now in progress prior to selecting a builder.
Included in the flat pack kit will be all of the components for fabricating the steel keel casing, into which the lead ballast will be poured. The rig will be deck stepped, fractional with two sets of swept spreaders and runnerless. This makes her easy to handle with a small crew whether racing or cruising. The deck stepping arrangement places less stress on the hull structure, permitting a lighter yet more durable boat. She will be built in a slightly down-scaled form to fit into the under 65ft category for Coast Guard approval to carry 50 passengers.
