The hull is cold molded, combining the warmth of wood with relatively low maintenance. Bulkheads and joiner work are structural, and combine with the full length stringers and monolithic hull to provide a stiff platform for maintaining proper rig tension. The small inboard diesel provides a safe, convenient method for negotiating narrow channels and today's crowded harbors when the wind dies. Since the primary intent is daysailing, the low-profile cabin provides shelter for children or the occasional overnight. A properly sized V-berth, a head, small galley and two comfortable seats make the cabin cozy, yet comfortable.
Weekender is made for daysailing.
Approximately 8 feet long, with wide seats, and high backrests, the deep cockpit gives the feeling of sailing in, rather than on, the boat. All veneers are vacuum bagged between plies. Full length stringers, structural bulkheads and joinerwork are fully bonded to the hull to form a stiff, monolithic structure. Deck is Xynol covered plywood over laminated spruce beams. The cockpit drains through a slatted teak sole to a separate sump with an automatic electric bilge pump.
