30FT Cutter, Design #212

Design #212 is a variation on our popular 30ft cutter design #109. This one has an increased beam of 10ft 6ins and a bermudan rig. The construction is detailed for traditional carvel planking on bent frames, the simplest and most suitable method for a boat of this character.  With full headroom and ample room for gear and supplies this is perhaps the perfect boat for the home builder with a dream of long distance cruising.
