Product Description
4M Mini Yacht Plans
At just over 13' length, the 4m Mini Yacht has 2 berths and space for a portable wc inside plus large areas for stowage or floatation.
She has a daggerboard type keel with a steel core and lead bulb which is bolted in place for sailing but which can be raised using the main halyard for easy trailing.
Construction is based on a ply framework consisting of ply bulkheads and a ply fore and aft girder which incorporates the keel box. The planks can then be fitted and finished using the simple stitch and tape method for the chine seams.
