This boat is constructed using Dudley Dix’s radius chine technique. She is made from fiberglass sheathed 9mm okoume plywood with Alaskan yellow cedar stringers. A custom sugar scoop transom adds an extra 20 inches to the LOA. The keel and rudder can be lifted so the boat can fit on a normal boat trailer. Her auxiliary power is provided by an e-propulsion 1.0 Pod drive electric motor. The motor is retracted with a custom system to reduce drag when sailing. She sleeps 4 comfortably in her cabin. Unique for a boat this size, she has a fully enclosed head! She was built over 16 months and launched in October of 2022.
