The Beaumaris 24 is one of several trailer sailers for strip planking that we have had on the drawing board recently. This particular example has accommodation which includes 3 or 4 berths, a galley and a Porta-Potti w.c., all combined with a good sized cockpit. There are 2 keel alternatives - one with a centreplate (which is kept below the cabin sole) and the other with a deeper fixed keel allowing you to install an inboard engine. The cabin is taken right out to the sides of the hull to give comfortable sitting space below.  Initially the rig is based upon a simple standing lug rig set on lightweight masts and spars, but she could take other rigs - details of an alternative gaff cutter rig are included.

Computer faired mould shapes are given for strip planking the hull which has firm bilges ending in a sweet full wineglass shaped transom.
