Description
Because most of our designs have their offsets and panel shapes stored on the computer, altering a particular design to suit a clients individual requirements of length, beam and draft, can be undertaken easily and quickly. The Highlander 9' is a good example of this and has been developed from the 10' Highlander for a client who needs a specific size of dinghy to fit on the coachroof of his yacht. The drawings consist of the construction plan and sail/rig plan of the Highlander 10 with a new drawing showing the hull panel, frame and transom shapes for this 9' x 4'6" version. 3 sheets of 6mm ply are used.
