21 ft Cutter Design #279

The latest and likely one of the best in our family of small cutters is this iteration of plan #101 the 20ft Itchen ferry cutter.  These small beamy boats make wonderful coastal cruisers for the single hander or young couple.  This one is a foot longer than #101 with better interior room and seaworthiness. Construction is carvel on bent frames, the method that best suits the traditional character.  This should be a very manageable building project with a delightful outcome.
