The
Highlander 14' has comfortable sitting room for up to 8
people and with it's two athwartship rowing benches is an
easily handled and stable pulling boat. With her loose footed
lug rig she makes the ideal sailing craft for family sailing,
club use and for beach camping. Her construction takes 5
sheets of ply and with the 12 footer uses a special chine
construction developed by Selway Fisher Design utilising
both a stringer and epoxy fillet in a normal stitch and
tape construction adding stiffness and strength whilst retaining
the ease of stitched construction.
The
versatility of these craft is endless (they can be fitted
with cubbies, boom tents and different rigs), and the designer
is more than willing to discuss and draw up modifications
to suit individual requirements. All these craft are ideal
for use with outboard engines.The beam is 5'4" and
the weight 155 lbs with a sail area of 84 sq.ft.
The example above shows an example
with extended/pointed bow - notes are given on the drawings
for this modification.
