22ft Plywood Sloop Design #289

Here's a flight of fancy, a little boat conjured with no particular customer in mind but as a test bed for ideas which taken together might make an interesting single hander.  A simple, light hull of plywood construction, subdivided with watertight bulkheads for strength and safety.  A large easily built rig, self tacking for easy handling.  A powerful steel fin with lead bulb and integral trim tab. And, oh yes, a small tender built into the aft deck.  One for the adventurous.
