Boat Designs And Plans
In 1973 Chuck Paine designed and had built for himself a 28’ double-ender. in his own words, ‘She was to embody everything I knew about the design of efficient cruising vessels of GRP construction, to be capable of yearly cruises to and among the Caribbean Islands, to be small enough to fit my limited budget yet large enough to survive a gale at sea. She is small enough for me to handle the little maintenance required with GRP construction, capable of being laid up alongside a local lobstermans wharf on an outgoing tide for periodic attention to the bottom.’
Since then he has designed many yachts* and he has received worldwide acclaim** for his work.
