Sailboats, Part IV

38 Ft Gaff Cutter, Design #111

Construction: Strip planked/cold molded
This unusual design combines a light, wide bodied, fin-keeled hull with a traditional gaff rig. The hull configuration provides high stability, performance under sail and generous accommodations. The gaff rig was chosen to avoid the high costs associated with a modern rig and deck hardware. All rig components can be fabricated by the builder himself. Hull construction is strip planking with an overlay of cold molded veneers and is laid up over bulkheads and molds. A serious cruising boat of considerable charm and simplicity of construction.

40 Ft Double-Ended Cutter, Design #85

Construction: Cold molded

In the larger sizes where design costs are a much smaller part of overall budget, we find the purchase of a stock plan seldom makes economic sense. It will usually be found that there are greater savings to be made by tailoring the design precisely to the requirements of construction and usage. Nevertheless we have a number of designs on file that are ready to go or can be used as starting points in developing new plans.

A good example of our designs for larger cruising sailboats is this Colin Archer style double ender. This is a boat capable of taking you virtually anywhere in comfort and safety. As building projects go it is fairly straightforward with few difficult features. The building time indicates a serious investment of time and resources, so plan carefully before taking the plunge.
