I've chosen to kick off a continuing series on Featured Boat Plans by asking Mike Stevenson of Stevenson Projects to discuss the Weekender , one of the many boats designed by his family that graced the pages of Popular Science, Family Circle and Argosy magazines starting in the early '70s.
Weekender is an ambitious, but forgiving first project boat.
She's not designed for serious off-shore cruising, but for comfortable family sailing as well as ease of construction. Her small skeg substitutes for a keel or centerboard and makes her an easy boat to beach or trailer. In addition, there is a free, downloadable paper model of the Weekender available to anyone who wants to try their hand at a little impromptu desktop boatbuilding.
