30FT Schooner, Design #219

Here's one for the romantics. This little schooner is just 30ft on deck but is no cartoon boat.  With a well balanced hull and good ballast ratio, this is a capable small cruising boat.  Headroom is limited by the shallow hull but the interior has comfortable living space for two with plenty of room for gear and supplies.  Construction shown in the plans is fully glued triple skin laid up over temporary molds stiffened with laminated floors and joinery.
