This boat is a stretched version of the Highlander 18 for a client who wanted the biggest boat that he could comfortably trail extensively behind a medium sized family saloon without a lot of effort and which could also offer enclosed accommodation. The additional couple of feet and extra beam give enough space for sitting headroom, two internal berths (with space for two more under a boom tent) and areas for cooker etc. An outboard well, water ballast and centreboard arrangement are standard. (Other keel arrangements can be offered).

Construction is based upon a prefabricated structure consisting of pre-shaped centre girder, frames, transom, stem and bottom hull panel. Three pairs of chine stringers are then added followed by the ply skin. A very simple and strong construction. LOD 19'6"; Beam 7'; Draft 10"/ 4'6"; Weight approx. l000lbs. Note that since the original drawings were done, the hull panels have been computer developed and the panel shapes and details are given for alternative stitch and epoxy construction (also with a rounded bow similar to the Highlander 16).
