Product Description
Following along the same lines as her smaller sister, this cruiser is an ultra simple boat with plenty of space and performance for her size. She has room for 3 or 4 berths plus galley and portable wc. Construction simply involves fixing pre-shaped side panels to ply frames, adding chine and gunwale stringers on the outside and then applying a double thickness of ply to the bottom. Other pre-shaped pieces are then added before fixing a ply ballast box filled with scrap iron and cement. Centreboard or bilge keels may be fitted and she has 4 berths, space for a galley and wc and a handy gunter rig. She is simple but immensely strong and efficient.
