The Power 1.3 is a development of the original Power 1 design. In this case, we were asked to produce a simply built hull with more capacity and suitable for offshore and estuary conditions. We have retained the flat bottom section which eases and quickens construction but increased both the beam and hull depth substantially. The drawings give details for welded aluminium construction but she could easily be made using the hull panel shapes given on the drawings, in plywood.
Water tight side bench seats are shown aft and a separate buoyancy compartment forward but fit out can be altered to suit and a cuddy or wheelhouse could be fitted.
LOD 17'2" (5.23m); Beam 7'6" (2.28m); Construction weight in aluminium 595 lbs (270 kg).
