34' 6" Pinky Gaff Ketch Plans

Based upon the Pinky fishing boats of Maine and Nova Scotia this neat craft, instead of carrying the traditional cargo of sardines has been laid out with a roomy accommodation for 4 or 5 people in 2 separate compartments. Her double ended hull and deep draft make her a very seaworthy craft. The gaff ketch rig is easily handled and the small self draining cockpit has been designed for ocean sailing. This design was one of our Professional series but is now under development for a client using the strip planked method of construction. Full drawings and details are now available.

LOD 34’5’’; LWL 28’0’’; Beam 11’0’’; Draft 5’4’’; Displ. 11.25 tons; Ballast 4.5 tons; Sail Area 700 sq.ft.; Headroom 6’2’’. This design was one of our Professional series but is now under development for a client using the strip planked method of construction. Full drawings and details are now available.

Photos of her sailing will be posted soon - for more photos of the launch, step by step and of Naida motoring at hull speed go to https://www.flickr.com/photos/graham1963/sets/72157617490419554/  - photos taken by Graham Tolhurst.
