Seaworthiness
Greetings all, I'm considering building a kit Stornaway Weekender
www.scruffie.com as a teethcutting exercise; my primary objective is to get a handle on the bedrock principles of 'seaworthiness'. From random reading I've formed the impression that the Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter is the epitome of a seaworthy design. Colin Archer designs seem to get the big tick also. What I'm seeking is advice on the most 'seaworthy' yacht design available for a vessel under 35'. Becuase of the apparent advantages of heavy displacement & relative ease of fairing, I'm also considering a ferro hull ...any comments/observations on the pros/cons would be much appreciated. I've foundy the following salty site quite useful in terms of Aussie no-bull**** plain talking: http://members.optusnet.com.au/coast...rocruising.htm |
