Dear group,
this silence is a bit deadly! Maybe everyone is Spring Sailing??
The group may be interested in my relatively easy to build Pilot Cutter
design, which can be viewed on..
Scarper is stitch and glue ply/epoxy on ply bulkheads/ring frames, single chine
so only 5 panels in the hull. I have offsets & developed panels
calced every 4.5 inches for these 5 (no 5=transom) to give the builder
flexibility in siting bulkheads/frames.
It can be built with a full rigid frame or monocoque.
Enjoy!
Jeff Gilbert
Australia.
ps Plans are available (35 pages)
& cheap.
Cheers Jeff
ps If the Bristol Channel Cutter group want to put the article in their
magazine would that be cool with you?

Dear Jeff, you have an interesting design. How much would she cost to
build in a yard and can you tell me who has already built your design
(email addresses?). How much are the plans, and is there a way to build
the boat with a bit more beam than 8’4’’ (that would be kind of skinny
for a live aboard IMHO)? For something that length, I would be looking
for a beam of about 10’ or so, so my wife would have room for her grand
piano, ha ha.

GuysThis still must be the sweetest pocket cruiser in the
world. It trails A 650 lbs, or 950 if you want to go
offshore in a self-righter. At 950 lbs with 180sq ft of sail
D:WLL = 139 & SA:D = 30, so she’ll move out. The roof
hinges up for sitting HR.Full details on the alpha
list:
