The hull for this launch was originally based on our Power 16 model but instead of going for a simple flat bottom panel, we have used a 'V' bottom shape. Whilst this makes construction time a little longer it gives a slightly better ride in choppy conditions. The plans give details for both simple stitch and tape and ply on frame construction.
She has a large open cockpit with plenty of locker space. Forward is an optional cuddy. 11 sheets of 6mm ply plus a further sheet of 9mm are used for the hull construction and 2 sheets of 6mm ply are used for the optional cuddy. LOA 14'6" (4.42m); Beam 5'6" (1.67m); Approx wht. 375 lbs (170 kg); for the open version and 475 lbs (215 kg) for the cuddy version.
