Boat Building Plans And Kits
A cruising shoal draft aluminum boat with a "twist", as for the sail configuration. The "Elia System" for mast, rigging and sail plan. The renderings are showing an earlier version of the boat before modification to the deck with a pilot house to give more headroom for the tall owner.
A Trawler of 50 in length, based on specification about style, size and layout. The project is on hold, the owner having his present boat for sale.
A Westerman 51ft. Pilot Cutter 1998. Designed by Nigel Irens & Ed Burnett. Built by Covey Island.
If interested in purchasing this Classic beauty, please let me know. Full information readily available.
The GLC 40 is under bids now. The ambition is to complete the Great Loop Circuit. Designed for a repeat customer, this aluminum boat is on the simple and rugged side of Yachting.
The project started based on the "Gentleman Cruiser" but evolved to something different, more adapted to the method of construction and the ultimate goal for the vessel.
The interior is made for a couple, and does not allow guests to feel comfortable for long, the way it ought to be.
It has been decided to drop the nose to increase the visibility from the pilothouse. This boat is a coastal, river boat.
Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year; the longest time I ever took to deliver Preliminaries!
Except that..
The other stipulations where to be. A double ended hull for 3 free standing masts, aft cabin, center cockpit, a pilot house and sure enough, the RV interior to fit inside. In my only telephone conversation, I expressed that the challenge would be with the emplacement of the 3 masts for the accommodation to circulate around. Plus the 3 dimensional aspect of hull shape, balance, stability and sail handling.
The hull is 48-3" long, with a beam of 14-10" necessary to important passageways with full headroom on either sides of the center cockpit. The 1Rvs is short of another cabin simply because it was not anticipated on the photos and documents delivered for the project. So, what we have, starting from the stern; a double berth in the Master cabin with full complement of storage, hanging locker, drawers and a dresser/ bureau. Going forward, a private head and shower on the starboard side. On the port side, we are going forward through the galley to join with the Saloon. Both version have similar interior arrangement to this point.
On deck, the center cockpit is followed by a sunken pilot house, with a dinette to port and an inside steering station. To starboard, a step brings you down to a day head and a full navigation area. Forward of the main bulkhead and a few steps, the location opens up to a double sofas type of layout. Clearly an arrangement for a couple and with not even a guest cabin or separate sleeping except for a pilot berth squeezed onto the starboard side. This is all in all for the Rvs Accommodation Plan.
2Ap, with the second version there are things in common with the Rv; essentially the same layout for the aft cabin, the cockpit, the galley and the head on port and starboard. I managed to keep the masts in the same position.Where things change, are the treatment inside the Pilot house, the Saloon and more importantly, the addition of a forward cabin. In the Pilothouse, the steering station is to starboard and to port access is given to the galley down below. Ahead, below a couple of steps, the Saloon with a U. shape dining area supplemented by a small dinette position from right across. The forward cabin is very versatile and can eventually be transformed into different layouts like single beds, up and down bunk beds besides the double berth as shown. In any case this cabin offers many options. Storage is important all over and well represented in this configuration. So all for now and we will see where the above will lead us.
