The Highlander 16' dayboat
was designed for a New Zealand client who wanted a rugged
camping dinghy/dayboat for use around North Island. She retains
the easy riding 'U' shape of the other Highlanders forward
but departs from their shape in having a sharp bow.
The interior is adaptable to suit
the needs of the builder and the drawings show an optional
outboard well and simple cuddy arrangement. The drawings also
show 5 different sail plans including Gunter, Bermudan, Lug,
Sprit and Yawl sail plans. 8 sheets of 1/4" ply are used
plus 3 sheets of 3/8" for rudder, centreboard. Details
are also available for strip plank construction.

The standard construction uses stitch
& tape ply but details are also available to build her
using the strip plank method.

14 and 16
designs (on our Dinghies
page) - the Stornoway 16' is similar to the Highlander 16 in design
and size.
