DESIGNS: The poor mans ocean cruiser:
This
design does not have full headroom, but has everything else going for it as
far as comfort is concerned. It is seaworthy, fast, simple to build, inexpensive to rig, and can use an
auxiliary engine of minimal horsepower. This vessel can be built in aluminum or steel. The 37-footer (shown here) sleeps two, and has a 93 beam and a 36
draft. She is double-ended, and carries the simple three-sail schooner
rig. As long as simplicity is
acceptable, this type of hull has much to offer.
