(Lots of wonderful pictures here -Ed)
Built by an experienced amateur. Over four thousand hours building time. The best of
materials used. Finished with two-part polyurethane. Sprayed by a professional. Bright work
finished with Norwegian varnishing oil (between six and eight coats).
Hull is built of 7 ply half-inch marine mahogany plywood; keel is built of same
material, laminated to proper thickness.The keel is covered with double thickness of 11 oz.
fibreglass cloth saturated with epoxy. 1/16 inch stainless steel was then attached to the
bottom of the keel and up the stem as far as 22 inches above the waterline. Outside of boat is
covered with 11 or 6 oz. fiberglass cloth which was then saturated with epoxy, then an
additional four to five coats to allow for sanding to a mirror finish before painting. Inside
has four coats of epoxy.
Spars are solid sitka spruce. Fittings are all top quality such as Harken or custom made
of bronze or stainless steel.
Three sails (main, jib, and mizzen.) All lines, sheets and halyards ready to go. None of
them ever used.
Custom made trailer with extendable tongue for easy launching. Elaborate supports that
fit to cabin and aft cockpit bulkhead to hold spars for long distance trailering.
No O.B. motor. (4 to 5 HP would be suitable.)
The boat was completed Sept.2000 but ill health precluded launching and am selling the
boat now for the same reason.
Price $12,500 USD
