22 ft Double Ended Cutter, Design #106A
This is a design for a roomy trailerable weekender. The client lives in the interior of BC, so this one is likely to see lakes as well as coastal cruising. She is designed with a diesel under the bridge deck for punching into lumpy head seas. In the meantime she has the capacity to ride happily on her trailer to parts of the coast we might never have time to reach otherwise, and explore every nook and cranny, anchoring close into shore. Between journeys she can be kept at home where she is easy to care for and right there to admire every time we pull into the driveway.
Construction is triple skin red cedar, fully glued with a sheathing of glass cloth and epoxy resin.
The rig is a straightforward gaff cutter with roller furling on the headsails. The drawings shows a topsail and a reaching spinnaker on an outhaul to the end of the bowsprit would add to the fun.
