This is the "final" design. There are likely to be small changes as we build her, but this more or less it. Our design work has been extended for longer than was initially estimated, as we are finding it beneficial to resolve as many small problems as possible now, rather than have problems mount up during the build phase.

Generally only small changes have been made from "Boat B". These Comprise:

A three chine hull (i.e. four planks per side, instead of three). This is essentially to enable her to be built with narrower panels, to help them form the shape at the bow, and to fit into our shipping packs more easily. It also makes her look even more rounded which can improve the looks.

A choice or rigs. Several people have asked us about this, so we have designed for a choice of rigs from the outset. Click on the pictures below for more detail:

The Traditional Rig

The Daysailer Rig

The Cruiser Rig

There is room for a small bowsprit...

...From which can be flown an extra jib or an asymmetric spinaker
