Description
The Ruby 19 is based on our Ruby 22 double chine plywood steam launch. In the case of the Ruby 19 a client wanted a shorter version of the 22 to be built in steel which meant widening and deepening her to take the steel weight. Having produced the steel work drawings we have decided to make a complete set of plans for both the steel and plywood version.
If she is built in plywood, she has a very high carrying capacity and would make a tough work launch. The plans show an open arrangement but there is no reason why she could not take a cabin with accommodation and/or a wheelhouse. The plans show details for steel construction as well as ply over frame construction.
