Product Description
Highlander 23 Plans
At last, a bigger Highlander dayboat - so really a pocket cruiser or small yacht. She has been drawn up for clinker ply construction over a framework of ply girders and bulkheads but the hull planks shapes are also given for her to be built using the stitch and tape method. She is set up with an outboard well and a large cockpit which could take a boom tent - the cabin is big enough for 2 berths and a small galley and Porta Potti WC. Maximum headroom as drawn is 4'5" but she has a size of hull that could take a modified cabin arrangement.
Her centreplate makes her ideal for trailing and gunkholing. The centreplate pivot is on the outside of the hull and the lift is via a tube into the cockpit so that there are no leak problems.
