George or anyone else who wants a free hull,
I've got an 18'x6'4"x18" hull, glassed and primed up to about half of the
freeboard height (total freeboard is 2' amidships), with an unfinished
interior. The hull is based on the 20' steel singlehander shape (box keel
with centerboard), but does not have the huge raised deck and glass house.
I designed it using Plyboats after taking measurements from Phil's design as
published in Boat Design Quarterly.
The boat was intended as a camp cruiser, with a giant 8' long cockpit for
lounging about (playpen style with no footwell, but 18" deep so you can sit
on the rail comfortably). Underneath the cockpit sole are supposed to be
holds for camping gear and some big deep cycle batteries to power an
electric outboard. The hatches are not in yet, and the mounting for the
outboard is not determined at this time. Fore and aft of the cockpit are
huge holds that go from the deck to the bottom of the boat. The forward
hold is large enough to be a good size outhouse/changing room, with almost
4' of headroom.
I meant to rig this as a Chinese gaff cat yawl, but haven't drawn a sail
plan. The displacement is high for an 18-footer, about 3100 lbs., but the
idea was to have a really comfortable camp cruiser that would also take a
whole pile of friends daysailing. The hull is all 1/2" BC plywood, doubled
on the bottom. Where I live, it's dry nearly all the time, and so I used #2
pine for most of the framing lumber.
Originally, this boat was also going to serve as a prototype for a much
larger liveaboard, but my job and other commitments have kept me from
getting it far enough along to serve that purpose. Thus, we have recently
hired PB&F to do a custom design for our liveaboard, and since that boat
will be some form of sharpie hull, completing the box-keel boat doesn't seem
relevant anymore.
The boat is free to a good home, or else I'm going to have to cut it up to
make room in the garage to start stockpiling supplies to build the big one.
