    26 ft Gaff Cutter, Design #116

    This simple transom sterned cutter was especially designed for home builders. It is a fairly deep, fine lined hull and should be a good sailer.

    Construction is glued wood, consisting of a layer of strip planking over laminated frames on 24-inch centers. This is followed by two layers of cold molded planking, one diagonal and one fore and aft, for a strong, stable structure.

    The mast is shown deck stepped in a tabernacle for ease of lowering. Alternatively, it can be keel stepped for added peace of mind. The mast is hollow with a pole topmast to make handling the topsail simple.

    The interior layout has three berths, with the head forward in the forecastle, and galley aft. Auxiliary power is a two cylinder diesel.

    One of these designs is being built in Norway by Rune Burdahl. He has sent us some photos of his work.
