19ft double ended CB sloop, Design #257
Another addition to our growing family of small center board double enders, this plan is an enlarged version of plan #165 an unballasted 16ft open boat. This one is 19ft on deck, carries 600lbs of fixed ballast on the keel and is fitted with a hard cuddy to keep gear and supplies dry and to make camping aboard more practical. Altogether a much more powerful and capable boat. An ideal family camp cruiser small enough to live on a trailer at home, large enough for adventurous coastal cruising.
