Description

The Highlander 16' dayboat was designed for a New Zealand client who wanted a rugged camping dinghy/dayboat for use around North Island. She retains the easy riding 'U' shape of the other Highlanders forward but departs from their shape in having a sharp bow.
 
The interior is adaptable to suit the needs of the builder and the drawings show an optional outboard well and simple cuddy arrangement. The drawings also show 5 different sail plans including Gunter, Bermudan, Lug, Sprit and Yawl sail plans. 8 sheets of 1/4" ply are used plus 3 sheets of 3/8" for rudder, centreboard. Details are also available for strip plank construction.
 
The standard construction uses stitch & tape ply but details are also available to build her using the strip plank method.



Left is a picture of the modified Highlander 16 (known as the Westray) with a yawl rig - the standard plans give the details for both the Westray hull and this rig.
The Westray has an additional plank per side and is slightly deeper - see section below.


There are 6 different sail rigs given with the standard plans including standing lug, sprit, gunter and gaff shown below.

These rigs can also be purchased separately for use on other designs - contact SFDesign for further details.
