16' Family Day Boat


This design was developed as a family day boat that offers enough performance to keep those members of the family who want a more sporty boat happy but manageable and comfortable for everyone to enjoy. We also made the decision to stick with  simple stitch & glue construction putting the option of building this boat within the reach of more potential boat builders/sailors. This boat is well on in the design process to the point that we have even had the cost of a kit priced out.
