Pete Greenfield, Editor of the Watercraft Magazine asked me to design this launch and is going to partly finance it by giving up smoking, hence the name Golden Virginia ! She is strip planked and is fitted out with settee berths and simple basic wc and cooking facilities. The stern has a fantail similar to the Edwardian 19 and she could be fitted out without the saloon to make a splendid open launch.
The combination of fantail stern and plumb stem is North American in style and very workman like.
