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).
