18' Bungay Broads Dayboat

This design is based upon the traditional daysailers and small yachts that can be hired on the Norfolk Broads.

Construction is Cedar strip planking over computer faired moulds/jig. The mast is stepped in a tabernacle for easy raising/lowering and she can take 4-6 adults comfortably. Storage is under the fore deck either side of the mast.

The keel consists of lead ballast bolted to a central steel plate (which has a flange at the top thro’ bolted to the inner keel) - the plate is sheathed in wood/epoxy to a foil shape.
