Be part of the Calendar Islands Yawl project this winter

Calendar Islands Yawl daysailer

New design

the brief:

      Hull above will be modified to create more of a daysailer hull form with ample freeboard and some deadrise for choppy water. Narrow flat bottom will be retained for beaching.
         Capacity will be up to 4 people maybe 5
         Loa ~18�8� x ~6�6�
         Weight estimate ~200lbs
         Plywood stitch and glue bottom and lapstrake topsides 9mm ply
         Large foredeck with coaming and high bow make it a dry boat
         Lug-awl rig or gunter-sloop configurations w/ centerboard
         Auxiliary power by oars or small OB motor
         Interior layout with side benching and a thwart across to stabilize cb trunk and provide a spot to row from
         Motor well aft, 2.5-4hp
         Side benches aft and forward compartment provide positive flotation

      The idea is to find an interested group of people to help fund this work. If you are interested in having a fantastic daysailer that you can have an influence in the design, please email me at boatkits@gmail.com
