Plans for dinghies, dayboats, sail and oar craft
Bare bones design: A1 sheets of Lines, strakes, frames/bulkheads for stitch and glue construction; inverted mould set up for stringered multii-chine/glued clinker; sail and spar plan, incl rudder and centre-board; strake details, fully nested.
Dimensions approx over gunwales/outer stem to uncambered transom/foredeck to outer keel strip: 18ft 7.5" [5.675m.]
Beam: 5ft 9" [1750mm]
33.5" depth of hull - bow to outer keel [855mm]
Sail area: 160 sq. ft. or 14.85 sq m.
She is 175mm wider than the Apple cutter, 30mm deeper and 1.150m longer, and uses just 7 sheets of ply for strakes and transom when nested for stitched seam construction.
Minimum suggested displacement in sailing trim, incl crew: 400kg; max 650kg; 500 - 575kg perhaps ideal. The hull is intended to be internally ballasted to suit crew to bring up total displacement to the required amount, but should not be less than about 100kg as a minimum.
