17'9" Baltic Lugger Plans

Sea Breeze was designed for a German client who wanted a well found dayboat capable of long single handed passages around coastal waters with the occasional hop across deeper water to new shores. She had to have a reasonably sized sleeping platform (which extends under the foredeck and aft under a tent) and space for a removable chart table as well as plenty of stowage space. The rig had to be simple and easy to stow with all controls led aft to the steering position. Construction details are for strip planking over computer faired moulds. The planking is glass/epoxy sheathed inside and out. Her generous depth of hull means that she could be fitted with a small cabin as well as alternative rig/keel configurations. LOD 17'9" (5.42m); Beam 6'10" (2.08m); Draft 1'/4'9" (.3/1.45m); Approx. wht. 1378 lbs (625 kg) incl. 496 lbs (225 kg) of ballast - note, the plans also show an alternative sail plan - a gunter yawl with jib/bowsprit.
